Tree Climbing and Canopy Walking

Tree Climbing and Canopy Walks This can be a very rewarding and fun way to spend a day and it does not have to involve tree surgery. 

Here are some reasons why tree climbing has a distinct advantage over many other outdoor adventure activities:

• Tree climbing is good exercise. Tree climbing is not only fun, but it's also an excellent workout. Though it's not nearly as demanding as it appears, climbing is great exercise for the arms and legs. Climbers work many muscle groups they often don't use elsewhere, and climbing is also great for the spine. The extra bonus to this exercise is that it is stimulating and never boring.
• Tree climbing is very safe. When climbers carefully follow the basic "do and don't" rules, they are virtually assured of a safe climbing experience. 
• Trees are everywhere! You don't have to look far to find a good climbing tree, especially if you're in a natural area. Even in an urbanized setting you can usually find a tree worth climbing.
• Trees are alive and natural. There is something very wonderful about getting outdoors and being related to the part of our environment that resides there. Humans find peace and relaxation in the branches of a tree.
• Tree climbing is cost-effective. Once you've made your initial layout for your basic gear, there are very few further expenses. You won't have to travel too far to find a tree, and you can climb most trees for free! You don't have to build an expensive structure. Rope courses, climbing walls, and alpine towers are expensive to build and maintain. They have to be continually inspected for defects because the structures are man-made. While trees need to be inspected every so often, there's no other work to do before you have a perfect climbing structure!

• Tree climbing is a year-round sport. During the hot months, you have the canopy to provide an awning for shade. In winter, the awning is taken down, and there's no barrier to the warm sunlight.
