We all climbed trees as kids. Often, our parents would warn “get down from there, you’re going to fall.” They probably didn’t know there are proper and safe ways to climb trees and that one could make a career out of climbing trees. Penn State University has a one-of-it’s kind tree climbing school that trains would-be climbers in safety and the fundamentals of tree maintenance. It is in Harrisburg for the first time. Jim Savage, an Assistant Professor of Arboriculture at Penn State has been teaching tree climbing for 28 years and is with us on today’s Smart Talk.
