Last week, two of our Neighborhood Forestry Technicians completed the Tree Climbing Academy in Druid Hill Park in partnership with Bartlett Tree Experts and Baltimore Recnparks. A total of 20 participants participated from The 6th Branch, Baltimore City Recreation and Parks, and Bartlett Tree Experts.

Through hands-on training, our foresters learned tree-climbing safety, rope setting and knot-tying techniques, the use of climbing equipment, and industry best practices. From climbing vertically to confidently navigating tree canopies, this experience helped strengthen the skills needed to safely care for Baltimore’s urban forest.

This opportunity is part of our workforce development program, which provides our foresters with exposure to different career pathways in forestry, opportunities to network with industry professionals, and experiences that build new skills.
