Bios Urn® is the world’s first biodegradable urn designed to turn the ashes of a person into a tree. Your loved ones can now be transformed into trees, continuing to grow alongside you. Thanks to its design and manufacture, the urn provides proper germination and aids in growing a tree with a person’s ashes.

Trees are vital. As the biggest plants on the planet, they give us oxygen, store carbon, stabilise the soil and give life to the world’s wildlife. They also provide us with the materials for tools and shelter.

Tree care operations include the trimming, pruning, felling, and removal of trees and bushes. They involve climbing trees, using portable ladders, working at heights while using hand and portable power tools, working near energized overhead or downed power lines, feeding chippers, and other hazardous operations.

Being an Arborist is a wonderful thing. If you love the outdoors, have a great appreciation of nature, love to challenge yourself and work as part of a team then it can be such a rewarding career.

Tree care workers have one of the most dangerous jobs in America, regularly encountering heights, slippery conditions, falling limbs, sharp equipment and electrical wires. Annually, tree care injuries account for about 80 worker deaths and at least 23,000 chainsaw injuries treated in emergency departments.

A few items that should be used on any basic climb, however, include a helmet, a saddle (that’s the harness that climbers sit in), carabiners, rope and a throw bag and line to launch the rope over the first branch.

To become a tree climber, you may need a high school diploma or GED certificate. Through these education programs, you study the basics of arboriculture and tree trimming. However, on-the-job training and experience are crucial to succeeding in this position.

Trees that are great for climbing, include hardwoods and maples that you would find in a field or park (with branches low to the ground). Some good climbing trees include elms, mulberries, and most oaks. White pines are less ideal, as they tend to be sappy and have brittle branches.

Trees will play an indispensable role in helping humans create a better future. For all that trees do–provide all life on Earth with oxygen, combat climate change, generate food and shelter, clean the air and soil, foster vibrant ecosystems, etc.

We partly climb trees because we want to experience helplessness. We climb away from our worries and responsibilities, but also from our sense of safety. Each escape is a liberation. The sky is not our world but we can touch it, at times, if we put our bodies to it.

Fast-growing trees like willows, poplars, and tulip trees are often brittle; the branches break easily. Hardwood trees are usually stronger for climbing. Oak, sycamore, mature maples, buckeyes, or pines make good climbing trees. Often older apple and cherry trees grow large and strong enough to climb.
