Congratulations to Josh Ormsby (Ecoarb’s senior arborist) who has won the 2012 Waikato / Bay of Plenty NZ Arb Tree Climbing Competition! This is the 3rd time that Josh has won this award and is a great reflection of his skill.
Representing Ecoarb, Josh competed in 5 events:
- A tree rescue, which involves rescuing a dummy from a tree
- A work climb
- A rope-assisted foot-lock climb
- Speed climbing
- And a throw-line challenge (Hitting targets with rope from the ground)
Of course winning the NZ Arb Tree Climbing Competition isn’t just about speed, it’s also about safety, technique and accuracy.
Having arborists who are able to climb quickly and throw ropes into trees accurately gives Ecoarb a competitive advantage. This means that we can quote lower than other tree care companies in the Waikato because we work faster and can get the same job done in less time with fewer staff. This means that you get more for your money when paying by the hour or get lower quotes if you prefer to pay a fixed rate.
