The RakeMaster Challenge fundraiser happens during
the International Tree Climbing Championship at the Annual ISA
Conference and Trade Show.
The proceeds from the event go to the Safe Arborist
Fund. The purpose of the Safe Arborist Fund is to provide research grants
supporting training and the techniques and equipment that arborists
using in climbing, rigging and working on trees; and the means of
identifying potential hazards, to provide a safer working environment.
For more on the fund and other tree-related grant programs, visit

SCA supports the Safe Arborist Fund in an
on-going effort to bridge tree-related research and in the field
applications focusing on residential and commercial arboriculture.
