Forestry Division to Host Arborist Aerial Rescue Training

Longmont’s Forestry division will host an arborist aerial rescue training on Friday, Aug. 7, in select sections of Thompson Neighborhood Park.

The all-day training, which is being conducted in collaboration with a private tree care company, will consist of about 20 arborists climbing trees, simulating emergency situations and practicing rescues. Trainees will be split into groups of 10 or less, with all participants wearing masks. No actual tree work (pruning or removals) will be done.

Residents are welcome to observe from the perimeter of the park, but are asked to stay outside the designated training area.
