We’ve posted about it here before, but it’s worth sharing again:
In the years since our last visit to Zimbabwe, the rangers there have continued to build on the tree-climbing techniques they developed during our visit.
into trees is proud to be one of the founding partners of Task Force Rhino, a charity set up in 2022 to raise money for the tree-climbing rangers of the Savé Valley, and to help connect Australian climbers with their cousins in Zimbabwe.
The TREE RESCUE MANUAL was developed to assist professional rescue teams (including Fire Rescue, Police SAR, SES, and other bodies) with responding to tree climber accidents.
The book was developed by a team of TFS vertical rescue trainers and climbing arborists, and into trees climber Joe Harris was one of the two lead authors!
The Manual is available now from the Arboriculture Australia shop.
