Tree-Based Aerial Rescue for SAR & Fire Personnel
Duration: 2–3 Days (16–24 Hours)
Prerequisites: Basic rope access or rope rescue experience recommended
This immersive course equips search and rescue (SAR) and fire service personnel with the skills needed to perform aerial rescues in tree environments using modern arborist systems and techniques. Designed for real-world response, the course focuses on accessing injured climbers, stabilizing victims, and executing safe and effective rescues aloft.
Whether responding to an arborist injury, recreational tree accident, or canopy research emergency, participants will develop the knowledge and confidence to operate safely in vertical, natural environments.
