Abseil4Research (Belfast - 14th June 2015) off the Europa Hotel Belfast City Centre followed by a BBQ and Tree Climbers Forum (TCF) in the Sir Thomas & Lady Dickson Park. We have 20 abseilers booked-up for the event which is great news and testament to the hard-work put in by Clare & Rob Gibbs. Many thanks to you both ! Would also like to thank (in advance) Rob Gibbs ( Arbortec); Donal Roe (Tree Solutions Ltd.) and Alex Laver (Tree Logic) for delivering the TCF. There will ...also be a communal tree planting during the TCF. Many thanks to Alan McHaffiea (at Belfast City Council: BCC) for supplying the tree and also to Jack McCluskey and Stephen Quinn (also at BCC) for granting permission to use this public park. Looking forward to a great day and the educational CEUs ! Fund4Trees | promoting sustainable treescapes

Seeing as they are both over 750Kg tow weight, what is the price difference from the st6 and st8?

Join our Charity Fund4Trees (F4Ts) ride being held as part of the “Trees, People & the Built Environment II” conference & help get proceedings off to a flying-start Meeting Point / Time: 8:30am: University of Birmingham Guild of Students Union Building on Edgbaston Park Road. Car parking is available in the local area. A 10 min. Ride Risk Assessment Briefing will be given by the Ride Leader. Taking Part: Please visit - Ride for Research – Birmingham – open to applicants | Fund4Trees Finish Time / Location: 2.00pm: University of Birmingham for a ceremonial tree planting and for those who can stay a ‘swift half’- retreat to Student Union bar. Route: A relatively flat route (approx. 17 miles long): roughly 50:50 between road and towpaths taking in traditional Birmingham sights such as the historic parts of Bourneville, urban parks, country parks and the canals. We will visit two schools* en route for fun educational tree planting session. Required Equipment: Cycle helmet (conforms to CE: EN1078), clothing-layers advisable with a light jacket (preferably brightly coloured: visibility) in case of rain. NB The classic yellow RfR t-shirts will be provided. Required Reading: Highway Code safety regulations for cyclists and the Fund4Trees “Working with Children Policy”. These will be emailed nearer the time. Lunch @ the Canon Hill Park cafe: Will be provided: please advise if you are a vegetarian. Rider Sponsorship: To take part £150.00 is required. To obtain your sponsorship a please visit the Just-Giving page: Start a fundraising page with JustGiving | Fund4Trees Please sign-up for Gift-Aid when making donations as the F4Ts Charity gains an extra 20%. Insurance: The Ride and school tree planting events will be insured by Fund4Trees but riders are advised to take out personal ride insurance for the day**. If required, Disclaimer Forms will be emailed out prior to the ride. * We aim to get all - if not most of - the schools to turn-out for the tree planting. For any given ride we could engage with 400+ children. ** Insuring each rider would be prohibitively expensive and divert important resources away from urban tree research and bursaries. Ride Aims: (1) Raise monies for urban tree research & study bursaries and (2) Take the message to schoolchildren about the important environmental value of trees in towns & cities via hands-on tree planting and interactive group discussion.
