Tree Climbing Books, Videos, & Training

Training to climb trees and do arboricultural work can be hard to come by. WesSpur offers the best instructional books and videos we can find, such as the Tree Climber’s Companion and the ArborMaster® training videos produced by the ISA. We have grouped our books into three categories to help you find the right resource, whether it is the classic Fundamentals of General Tree Work, a handy Audubon Society Tree Identification Guide, or the Morrow Guide to Knots to help you brush up on your knot tying. We have ArborMaster® training videos available to rent or purchase, and in addition we are compiling a page of our own informational resources and educational links. Whether you are brand new to tree climbing or a professional studying for an arborist certification exam, the products and links on these pages are great starting points.
