Arborist
Knots
Workshop

At our Arborists Knots Workshop workshop, you will dive into the world of knots with a range of uses. We have worked with our team of specialist knotologists to compile a range of recognised knots that can be used during our day, that are not included within basic tree climbing courses. Along with a range of uses for arborist knots, we will also look into the exciting world of MA systems (Mechanical Advantage) to help assist in the safe pulling of ropes, to reduce strain on our bodies. Knots are a fantastic way of helping us through our working day as a tree surgeon. Knots can assist us in our climbing systems, with such knots as the bowline and figure of 8, which have been used to attach ourselves to climbing ropes. Knots such as the Blakes Hitch and the Prusik have been used for many years by tree surgeons, as friction devices to allow safe ascent and descent.
