Celebration of Trees 2010, proudly sponsored by Husqvarna

Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th April, 10am – 5pm

 

 

 

Following the huge success of last year’s event, Capel Manor College are kick starting the year with Celebration of Trees 2010. Showcasing the best in Arboriculture and the Countryside, this show has become a firm fixture in the arboriculture calendar.

 

Sponsoring the event is Husqvarna, global leader in outdoor power equipment who comment, “It’s always a pleasure to work with Capel Manor College and to be a part of the inspiring work they do for both professionals and budding arborists. It’s for this reason that we decided to give them our full support and we wish them the best of luck.”

 

Andrew Eastaugh – Brand Marketing Manager, Husqvarna

 

2009 - Celebration of Trees

Last year’s event welcomed another high temperature attracting over 40 exhibitors and 1500 visitors and the new additions in 2009 proved to be very successful.

 

[xfloat=right]http://www.arbtalk.co.uk/images/cm3.jpg[/xfloat]Capel’s Climbing Competition (for Capel students), kindly sponsored by Winchester Garden Machinery (forestandarb.com), Honey Brothers and the ISA UK & I, was a great success. The Gwynedd Axemen, sponsored by Husqvarna, put on a fantastic show even giving away items they made on the spot to the loudest supporter. The addition of JB Raptor on Saturday with their falconry display gave a different element and the ever popular kids’ climb pulled the crowds once again - so hopefully we’ve inspired the young arborists of the future. All of these are set to be repeated in 2010!

 

After last year’s success we’re holding another Employer’s Forum in the Manor House on Friday 23rd starting at 3.30pm. This will look at Employer Responsive Training; understanding your business needs and in particular Short Courses, Apprenticeships, Train to Gain and Bespoke Training, as well as a presentation by Income Protect entitled Tree Surgeon Insurance

Services; understanding the complexities of Public Liability, Employers Liability and Accident Insurance. If you would like to attend this part of the event we do ask that you register as places are limited (to do so please visit www.capel.ac.uk/trees).
