## # To begin, let me say thank you to all the generous contributors here. The info on this site is ABSOLUTELY priceless. I hope to be able to give back someday as you all have.#
## # My goal is to go solo in time. I've cut trees several years in many facets and I'm trying to fill my voids of deficiency. My next step is to learn to climb properly. Second, is to work with a residential tree service company. I have in the past but the guy I worked with was a total yahoo. Completely unsafe, and an almost total waste of time. I learned more from his mistakes and while doing solo estimates and just staying way from him.
## # That being said, I'm looking for a reputable tree climbing school in the New York/New Jersey/Connecticut/Pensilvania area w/i 250 miles that offers regular classes, i.e. not 3 mos waiting(unemployed currently). #Willing to go further though. Is there any difference in training? I could learn climbing, but who teaches proper pruning techniques? I've found several sites that interest me that vary in cost significantly(all small class sizes) $350-$1100. newenglandtreeclimbing.com is the cheapest. The higher priced schools are wayyyy south of here however. The NE schools at least just teach arborist climbing skill. The ones south just seem longer in days in training. Might be better? Bottom line I need to make myself more employable than a regular Sawyer while I learn the ropes thanks in advance for the insight.
