This will be the Western Chapter ISA’s first women’s tree climbing workshop! It’s designed for women who have never climbed trees before with ropes and harnesses but is also open to those who have prior experience and want to improve their ability. 

Come learn a new skill or improve your foundation in a safe and positive environment. This two and a half-day event was specifically created for women by women climbers. Our instructors Marcy Carpenter, Melissa LeVangie, and Bear LeVangie have competed in tree climbing championships and work in the tree care industry.
You will learn a multitude of  styles in climbing equipment and techniques. Network with female arborists from all over the country! This two and half-day (overnight) adventure is ALL INCLUSIVE including room and board and use of climbing equipment. You will leave this experience with a new skill, wonderful memories, new friends, and a sense of personal accomplishment. This workshop is limited to 30 participants.

We are happy to help with transportation to the workshop and back  to  the  Sacramento  Airport. If you  need assistance, please contact Julia Bartens as soon as  possible to arrange a ride at [email protected].
