A huge congratulations to Climb High Training's Certificate III in Arboriculture - class of 2024 graduate Will McCormack on being named joint winner of the 2026 New Arborist of the Year Award Australia! ๐ณ๐
Announced at the Australian Tree Climbing Championships in Hobart, which was hosted by Arboriculture Australia, this award recognises outstanding new arborists in their first three years in the industry, celebrating skill development, dedication, and passion for arboriculture.
Competitors are tested across a wide range of arboriculture skills including tree identification and industry knowledge, knot tying, throwline use, worksite safety assessment, climbing events, and fast-paced timed โArbgamesโ challenges.
We have been lucky enough to watch Willโs journey over the past 3 years, from his very first chainsaw course through to becoming a graduate of our Certificate III in Arboriculture 2024 class and continuing on to be an incredibly skilled and motivated Arborist.
We are extremely proud of everything he has achieved and cannot wait to see what the future holds for him.
Congratulations Will โ very well deserved! ๐๐ฒ
