“It was great to get involved in this competition. It was an excellent course in the tree and it is definitely something I’d like to have another go at.”
Alistair Maxwell,
Northumberland College, 2017 Competitor
“Second time, second win which shows us that the training we have had at Merrist Wood College really does prepare us to be excellent arborists. The competition encourages us to improve on the techniques that we have been using throughout our time at college.”
Owen Ross,
Merrist Wood, 2017 Competitor
“I really enjoyed competing in the event. Well-impressed with how it was put together and how smoothly it all ran. I got on well with the team from Merrist Wood and as one of them had been in a competition before he gave me advice and the team helped out. I definitely would like to compete in another event sometime.”
Ethan Andrew Davis,
Easton and Otley College, 2017 Competitor
