International Tree Climbing Championship

Our local park is hosting the International Tree Climbing Championship this weekend.  They've been preparing for several days.  It sounds like a cool event and we plan to go.  However, I haven't liked them over there closing my favorite walkway and pruning so many trees.   It's sponsored by arborists so I hope they are being kind to our trees.  We walk through there most every day.  That park is part of where we live.

Here is a link to the program this weekend.
