Hi Canuck,

It is nice to hear that someone wishes to have an adventure in the canopy.
Any advise or help the TCI and the Tree Climber's Coalition are good places to go to.

Please let me know if I can help out.

In regards to places to climb.
As a DNR Ranger I have to be honest with you. Most Parks and NPS do not allow/permit TTC. Please understand that they have to be concerned with many factors: ecosystems, native plants, protected species, etc.
This is also a new wilderness activity compaired to others, so many do not know what this is about. Depending on your location and the Rangers and the Rangers duties for that area will varie if you can legally cllimb(that means to ask permission and permission is granted).


The site that I am located at this time does guided climbs(Event Climbs, Open Climbs, Wilderness Climbs, etc).
In fact, Wild Bill and I just got through with a wilderness climb today. Wild Bill will do any reporting on it.
If you wish to climb at my site you will need to contact me for futher information. My e-mail should be aviable on this site. If it is not then you can go to the Tree Climber's Coalition Webpage. They have my contact info in the _link_s/reff. area.

Again I am coming for the standpoint of a DNR Ranger and the duties and protection of the public and the natural and historical resources.

I wish you the best.
