2025 NSTCC
Professional tree climbing competitions are held around the world to provide a platform for arborists to learn about the latest in climbing techniques and innovations in equipment. They showcase the highest level of professional skills and safety, providing a competitive learning environment for those working in the industry.
The competitions simulate working conditions of arborists in the field. Competitors perform five different events during preliminary rounds. Each event tests a competitor’s ability to professionally and safely maneuver in a tree while performing work-related tree-care tasks in a timely manner.
Competitive tree climbing also introduces the public to the skills professional tree climbing arborists must use for safe, professional tree work.
The Natural State Tree Climbing Competition will be held May 2 – 4, 2025 at Rotary Park, 3173 S 48th St, Springdale, Arkansas. Gear check will be held on Friday, with the competition taking place on Saturday and Sunday. CEU credit educational events will be offered on May 1st and 2nd.
