Lumberjack Competition 2002

Wisconsin Arborists' Association Tree Climbing Championships:

Wisconsin Arborists' Association annual summer conference took place at Rotary Gardens in Janesville, Wisconsin, this year, and Ben Meadows was there.

The group's Tree Climbing Championship showcased the skills of arborists and tree care professionals from throughout the state.

The competition featured five preliminary events which would potentially qualify participants for the national championships.

Check out some of the photos Ben employees brought back from this exciting event:
