Hey Andrew your network is incredible - great work. I met with Melissa from JP Trees today and built a NING network with her for them. Keep an eye out on it. I also also created a link to your group on our new network we will launch in a couple of weeks.

Hey Andrew, great job. The site looks great. Do consider asking people for their email address and cell number. It also good to have access to that information. It will also help ensure folks are serious about this fun but serious activity.

Thanks for stopping by last week.

I recently got back from climbing in North Carolina with a gang of like-minded tree huggers. We climbed and camped in a beautiful county park called Tanglewood in Clemmons, North Carolina. This was a permitted climb arranged by Bob Wray of Blue Ridge Tree Climbing in Virginia. We climbed for 3 days, night and day u… Continue

Welcome to BARC

The BARC community web site has been up and running for little more than 24 hours and I'm happy to see many of my tree friends and future climbers joining in. Thanks are due to Joseph Porcelli of Neighbors for Neighbors for encouraging me to get this going.
