Tree Safety Experts

A passion for connecting people with nature

What is a Tree Safety Expert?

EVERY DAY IS AN ADVENTURE

Providing safety critical cover for the more adventurous projects is what we do. We specialise in assisting clients capture dramatic sequences and experience nature in new, immersive ways. These have included guiding presenters 25m up into amazing trees at locations around the UK, and scientists up to 40m in the tropics.

We are delighted to work with organisations who recognise our professionalism and safety protocol. Join us for a short climb into key aspects of the role.

  • “EVERY DAY IS AN ADVENTURE!”

    With 12 years experience as a tree safety expert, with specialised industry qualifications, I connect people with nature through tree climbing, safely guiding people into dangerous environments, collaborating with clients like Canopy Access, Furnace TV and BBC Studios.

  • We believe in making adventurous projects possible.

    Every project starts with listening to your requirements and will involve comprehensive assessments of risk and planning. Utilising the most appropriate industry-standard equipment, we will facilitate your adventure.

  • From small companies to film and tv, we take a safety-first approach to ensuring our clients stay safe whilst working at height in environments that can be both exciting and challenging.

  • Highlights have been with BBC in the ancient pine forest of Glen Affric, with renowned presenter, Professor Jim Al-Khalili for Furnace TV, and for Canopy Access on Operation Wallacea expeditions deep in the jungles of Honduras.

Current projects

On the ropes

Guiding, rope access & talks

Whether it’s scaling trees or abseiling from the top of iconic city buildings in the heart of Glasgow, using my industry recognised skills is an exciting way to work in conservation. I enjoy working in partnership on projects which foster an appreciation of nature and help to inspire the next generation of young conservationists, for a better future for us all.

Volunteering

As an active volunteer verify tree records for the Woodland Trust's Ancient Tree Inventory as well as hunting for new records. I also carry out monitoring and research on rare raptors in partnership with Forestry England as a member of the Dorset Raptor Study Group.

Live cameras

Live camera action!

As well as working with TV presenters, a lot of my work involves assisting the install and maintenance of live nest cameras on the nests of some of rarest wild birds.

From cleaning the lens of the Loch Garten Osprey camera to the logistics of an eagle camera install, great care and expertise is required and all work is carried out under licence and in association with the land owner.
