2013 New York State Tree Climbing Championship Wrap-up
2013 Tree Climbing Championship is in the Books!
The wet conditions that pushed the competition one day later to Sunday, June 9th didn't dampen the enthusiasm and skills of the climbers, volunteers, techs and judges for the tree climbing competition at the historic Planting Fields Arboretum in Oyster Bay, NY.
NYSA hosted 15 contestants from across New York State and the northeast as they demonstrated their tree climbing skills and competed for the title of New York State Tree Climbing Champion. Climbers competed in 5 events – the Work Climb, Arial Rescue, Throwline, Belayed Speed Climb and Secured Footlock and were judged on their skill, speed and precision. Photos to come! The 2013 overall score results will be posted soon.
The 2013 Masters Challenge winner was Brian Krawczyk of Birchcrest Tree and Landscape, Inc. in Webster, NY. He will be representing New York State in the International Tree Climbing Championship, August 3-4 in Toronto, Ontario. Congratulations Brian!
NYSA is grateful to all of the Committee Members, Judges, Techs and Volunteers who juggled their schedules because of the weather to make this year’s competition another fun and exciting success. Thank You!

Here's how to help STOP THE SPREAD of insect pests:
- Leave firewood at home–do not transport it to campgrounds or parks.
- Use only firewood from local sources. "Local" means from less than 50 miles. Firewood is commonly available at or near most campgrounds. It's a small price to pay to savethe trees in your favorite campground.
- If you have moved firewood, burn ALL of it before leaving your campsite. Do not carry firewood from one campground to another.
