Jeff Clark, a campus arborist at Purdue University, was the overall winner Saturday when the Indiana Arborist Association held its Tree Climbing Championship at West Lafayette. Clark will advance to the International Tree Climbing Competition in August of next year in Portland, Ore.

"Professional tree competitions help arborists learn about the latest techniques in climbing and innovations in equipment, showcasing professional skills and safety for those working in the tree care and arboriculture industry," said Lindsey Purcell, executive director of the state arborist association and an urban forestry specialist in Purdue Department of Forestry and Natural Resources. "We emphasize safety so much in everything we do." (view for full article)
