The time is once again upon us to volunteer our time, energy and expertise to put on the Texas Tree Climbing Championship. For many years, you all have been the heart of the Championship and we need your help again!
The Championship will be held this year at Richard Moya Park, in Austin. A service/pruning day is scheduled for Wednesday, May 17th. Gear check will be held the evening of Thursday, May 18th and the Championship Preliminaries are Friday, May 19th. The Master's Challenge will be on Saturday, May 20th, with a rain date of Sunday, May 21st.
Please register as a volunteer as soon as possible so we can identify the resources we will need (hotels, food etc..) ahead of time. While the volunteer site will remain open, we are asking for everyone to register by May 5, 2023.
When you sign up, you will be able to identify your past experience, share preferences as well as dates you will be available. Likewise, you will be able to fill out your release forms ahead of time.
We truly appreciate all you have given over the years but it is the cadre of climbers who come from all over the state and the country to compete that benefit the most from our efforts. We all know how powerful the championship is for the guys and gals in the field and it would not be possible without all of you!
Many thanks, and we look forward to seeing you all in Austin!
