Smoke Jumpers in Central Park 3 Years, 5 Months ago  
There was a good story on NPR this morning about Off-Season Western Smoke-Jumpers climbing trees in NYC Central Park looking for Asian Longhorn Beetles. Good de_script_ions of the treeclimbing experience and equipment.

  Then here's to the oak, the brave old oak,
       Who stands in his pride alone!
  And still flourish he, a hale green tree,
       When a hundred years are gone!
       --Henry Fothergill Chorley, "The Brave Old Oak"
