SAFETY DISCLAIMER
Tree climbing safely is fun, exhilarating, healthy, AND educational.

Kids of the Wild
Our tree adventures encourage you to explore the natural world whilst learning to make measured and calculated risks. Please note that tree climbing may also be dangerous and cause injury and death if carried out incorrectly or if part of the tree fails or breaks, and always climb with someone to seek help should you ever need it! Please seek specialist advice and guidance and assess any risks before climbing the tree. All our tree adventures use specialist equipment and are guided by highly trained and skilled instructors to maintain the highest possible levels of health and safety.
