@mrlorem I feel like arborculture is a niche thing but out in Australia it seems pretty intense. most of the best climbers are from Australia, lot of good german climbers and US climbers but the Aussies and New zealand crushers are insanely good. Mic, Allen Hall, Kara are like some of my favorite people to learn movement from, then theres a really good sling splicer out there on instagram with user name splicewitch and She seems down to earth. I get a lot of my inspiration from Australian tree workers and the tasmania project people who are trying to stop all the regal, kari, and mountain ash logging. Just seems like the tree workers are all pretty dope from the distance of continents away.

Saw all your nostalgic posts today. Wanted to let you know you almost inspired me to become an arborist, but most of the work in my area sucks. But! I did end up a horticulturist sooooo... Thanks for being cool.

Thanks for the message I love them,

I think its still a beautiful world we live in, well the political climate is beyond upsetting and so is the corporate leech, but the nostalgia of seeing those posts from years ago was beautiful. I also enjoy messages like this, it all reminded me I never thought i'de do arboriculture and never knew where or what i'de be and I never fought it I just rode along with it and let it take me when it could.

I was going to do a TNC internship in TN and then Covid threw a wrench at that and I got into tree work through plant pathology and phc, Now im working tword climbing more than I am working tword just PHC, Im never going to limit myself in that way. Arboriculture, it's self is an odd field and honestly it is wild how hard it is to think about settling down for me, It was hard enough to find a progressive company to work for that doesn't already have positions fully filled. I have to constantly train outside of work and Im always looking at different subject material and trying to make connections. Work culture is critical in blue collar industry so im lucky to have Madison despite not being able to climb as much as I would like due to the vast talent at the company but it's nice.

I think with a love for plants or ecology there are plenty of doors, just most are severely undervalued; with that said, I love how many paths there are. Cool thing about life and the career paths out there is that, I dont think ive ever thought about fully settling down for anything, I've wanted to try it all. A lot of my coworkers share that sentiment too and are fine with whatever, though my friend Anna and I were talking today and she said she's glad she's not USFS still because she wouldnt have a job.

I feel bad for a lot of people right now though, my roomates had to find new jobs as they both worked for a non profit as a food source and volunteer coordinator for food logistics and the other worked as a horticultural instructor and head horticulturalist and site project manager for permiculture at a place called tikkun farm. Federal grant dismissal had forced the hands, then the research for ecology and ethnobotany/ pharma got lit up from the freeze/stop of federal grants and now my friends who worked at Wayne and in Red River Gorge for the forestry service are jobless right now.

this has nothing to do with careers but I also hope everyone is checking in with their trans friends and migrant friends and family right now, especially if they live in Utah or Texas.

Finally found the post that's the same black walnut a few posts ago

one of the largest Black Walnuts in Mt. Airy forest Cincinnati, Ohio

Mt. Airy forest is the single largest urban forest in the United States, re-planted in the from the 20′s-the 40′s in sections by entirely African American section of the CCC citizens conservation core. Very few trees, (ridge top road oaks, one walnut, and this walnut) are good examples of trees that are considered older than the forest it’s self.

Dang this was from 2021, Logan is now MIA somewhere in a converted van climbing trad and Danny lives in California climbing for city parks. Wild. Good times.

Danny, my friend who ive been working with and rec climbing trees with for 6 months came rock climbing at eden with my friend Logan and I, and managed to convince us to night reclimb the presidential oak grove in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Photos: My friend Logan(white shirt) getting to try out some drt rope access for the first time  when it was still nice out. 

The northern red oak here is only 85 years old and is one of the smaller oaks in the grove perfect for learning DRT since the first branch isn’t too high.

SG cemetery, Cincinnati OH.

A burr oaks thick trunk is visible from a distance. Juxtaposed to graves, monoliths, and other large trees.

One of the few sentinel trees left that pre date the cemetery establishment in 1845

it can be seen out of the gray rd entrance. It's adjacent to the Grove 101 white and close to the valley tulip.

Many trees remain established since the beginning or within 10 years of it's creation including a yellow buckeye and a bald cypress that remain incredible examples of their species.

Grove 101 white oak is considered the oldest tree in the cemetery, dated to 1630's.

@geopsych what happened? Development???

I can’t believe I took this 8 years ago today. I’m glad I got to see that meadow before it was “improved”. It isn’t nearly as pretty as this now.
