Tree Climbing Championship Results WA 2022

October 25, 2022 By Tom C

On the 22nd October, ArbWest hosted their annual Tree Climbing Championship.

A great turn out arrived at the Point Walter Reserve to watch the best WA has to offer competing across several events such as Aerial Rescue, Work Climb and Speed Climb.

Arborist Riki Peterson was again recognised as the overall victor after having great success throughout the day. Also on the podium were Pascal Oosterik in 2nd place and Luke Osborne in 3rd. The overall Tree Climbing Championship results can be viewed at ArbWest’s website.

Special mention also goes to competitors Maja Blasch and Molly Hall for demonstrating that females are every bit as successful in this industry.

As an ArbWest Gold Sponsor, Interlink Training identifies the importance of being able to get together as an industry to network and have a bit of healthy competition.

Interlink have also taken the opportunity to introduce the Rising Star award as part of the competition. We were on the lookout for someone who had a positive and enthusiastic approach and attitude to climbing and is keen to learn and grow. The inaugural award went to Trent Bickley of Tree Care WA. Trent embodied everything we were looking for in this award, and it was very well deserved.

The event was a great success and it was entertaining to watch the next generation of tree climbers on the kids climbing wall.

Interlink Training is a proud gold sponsor of ArbWest. As a training provider in the Arboriculture industry, we take great pride in providing support to ensure events like these are successful and can continue. If you are interested in finding out more about our involvement in such events, please contact us online or by calling us on 1300 731 669.

Myrtle Rust Biosecurity Alert

October 6, 2022 By Tom C

The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development is responding to a detection of myrtle rust in an isolated and remote part of the Kimberley.

Myrtle Rust

Myrtle rust (Austropuccinia psidii) is a fungal disease which infects plants in the Myrtaceae family. Common Australian Myrtaceae species include eucalypts, peppermint trees, turpentine, bottlebrush, paperbark, tea tree and lilly pilly.

It was detected during targeted myrtle rust surveillance led by Queensland Agriculture, Parks and Wildlife Service, Western Australia and DPIRD.

Bushwalkers and travellers are urged to look for and report plants with signs of myrtle rust and take precautions when travelling in and out northern WA to reduce the spread of myrtle rust into other parts of WA.

TREEmendous Biosecurity Blitz – tree pest and disease workshops

October 3, 2022 By Tom C

The TREEmendous Biosecurity Blitz aims to protect Western Australia’s trees from an increasing number of exotic pest and disease threats to our urban and bushland environments, and horticultural and forest industries.

Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) experts will hold workshops at Bunbury and Kings Park to describe the priority tree pests and diseases to be on alert for here in WA and demonstrate how to use the MyPestGuide Reporter app.

Whether you have trees in your backyard, in the local park or on your street, like to bushwalk, or work in forestry or horticulture, you can help protect our trees into the future by checking them for pests and diseases and reporting any you find.

This year, Biosecurity Blitz runs from 24 September to 24 October 2022 – that’s 30 days to look for, snap and send in a report of every tree pest and disease in your neighbourhood!

The annual Biosecurity Blitz is part of DPIRD’s commitment to delivering a robust biosecurity system to support our industries and protect our trees, environment and lifestyle.
