An impressive spectacle, the competition will enable the public to find out more about the work undertaken and skills involved in tree work.

The event is being organised by Christopher Hoare Tree Services (CHTS), who will be setting up their climbing wall and throw-line game for visitors to enjoy – both big hits at the New Forest Show.

The competition will simulate working conditions of arborists in the field. Male and female competitors perform four different events during the preliminary rounds on Day 1. The Master’s Challenge will take place on Day 2, where the top men and women finishers from the preliminary events advance to compete for the title.
