RakeMaster Challenge
Presented by the Society of Commercial Arboriculture, the RakeMaster Challenge fundraiser takes place during the International Tree Climbing Championship at the Annual ISA Conference and Trade Show. The proceeds from the event go to the TREE Fund’s Safe Arborist Fund. The purpose of the Safe Arborist Fund is to provide research grants in support of the training, techniques and equipment that arborists use in climbing, rigging and working on trees, as well as the means of identifying potential hazards in order to provide a safer working environment.
Bandit Chipper Auction
Bandit Industries auctions a chipper annually at the Tree Care Industry Expo. Silent bids are taken at Bandit’s display booth on the EXPO Trade Show Floor until noontime on Saturday. Then the excitement begins as the oral bidding commences. The winning bidder gets a great chipper and the TREE Fund gets the proceeds of the auction to support its work in advancing knowledge in arboriculture and urban forestry.
