DOUGLAS FIR 🌲❤️🇺🇸 - we climbed and chilled until the light had long faded. This tree was just an incredible climbing experience with 2 major reiterations following the top being blown out long ago. It let us climb as if we were climbing multiple trees at once rather than just one. Here @sweatybettytreecare gets way out on one epic flat branch. ---- We thank our sponsors 🌲🔝❤️🙏👩‍🔬👨‍🎨 ---- @wesspur_tree | @teufelbergertreecare | @thenorthface_aunz | @bigwallgear | @rodemic | @climbing_anchors | #Arborist #arblife #treecare #tree #womanarborist #climbinggirls #treeclimbing #womenintrees #arborgirls #pnwonderland #pacifc #siuslawnationalforest #girlpower #inspiration #education #conservation #ecology #canopy #bigtree
IDEAL CONDITIONS FOR A TREE PORTRAIT 🌧💦💧🌧📷💥 we originally set this rig up more than 2 weeks ago. But a predicted solid week of sun was not worth hanging out for. We saw this weather window closing in on the South West and set it all up again. We arrived on site this morning at 9 had the rig setup by 11 and just wrapped it up now at 1:30pm.

Trees are Made from Air. In the 1600’s this super smart guy names Jan Baptista van Helmont (1580-1644) did a very simple experiment. TLDR - listen here 👉 https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/greatmomentsinscience/trees-are-made-from-air/9675642 Van Helmont placed a 5-pound (about 2.2-kg) willow in an earthen pot containing 200 pounds (about 90 kg) of dried soil, and over a five-year period he added nothing to the pot but rainwater or distilled water. After five years, he found that the tree weighed 169 pounds (about 77 kg), while the soil had lost only 2 ounces (57 grams). He concluded that “164 pounds of I wood, barks, and roots arose out of water only,” and he had not even included the weight of the leaves that fell off every autumn. Obviously, he knew nothing of photosynthesis, in which carbon from the air and minerals from the soil are used to generate new plant tissue, but his use of the balance is important; he believed that the mass of materials had to be accounted for in chemical processes. #arborist #treesofinstagram #arblife #treefact #carbon #science #climatescience #climatechange #treeoflife #trees #teeeclimbing #treecycler #education #inspiration #conservation
WE’VE FINISHED 🌲🇺🇸 ✅ our 3 super size tree portraits of a Douglas Fir, Sitka Spruce and Noble Fir are complete. Also check this photo of Dr Sky Lan from @oregonstate uni exploring our Douglas Fir. Hey @sierraclub @nature_oregon let’s team up and we’ll donate 50% of our project profits to you. ---- We thank our sponsors 🌲🔝❤️🙏👩‍🔬👨‍🎨 ---- @wesspur_tree | @teufelbergertreecare | @thenorthface_aunz | @bigwallgear | @rodemic | @climbing_anchors | #Arborist #arblife #treecare #tree #treework #treeclimbing #climbing_is_my_passion #climbinggirls #womanarborists #womenintrees #education #inspiration #conservation #canopy #research #science #oregon

SITKA SPRUCE 🌲❤️🇺🇸 No tree has pushed the idea of a Tree Portrait to this level. Months of editing and 100’s of hours of intense staring, second guessing and reworking. Including the original 72 photos there are 240+ layers in the final image, not to mention layer masks or brush strokes. The final image is 68cm x 233cm at 300dpi. The file size at the original blend of the images reached 45 gigabytes then down to 5 gigabytes after they were merged. With the tweaks, nips and tucks it it went back up to 28gb. So much of my spare time this past year has been devoted to this tree. ITS DONE ✅ ITSSS DONNNEEE. ---- We thank our sponsors 🌲🔝❤️🙏👩‍🔬👨‍🎨 ---- @wesspur_tree | @teufelbergertreecare | @thenorthface_aunz | @bigwallgear | @rodemic | @climbing_anchors | #Arborist #arblife #treecare #tree #sitka #photoshop #treework #vanlife #nomad #
SITKA SPRUCE 🌲🇺🇸 nothing like exploring some unique old growth with two of the best. Here Dr Sky Lan and @jamzluce are collecting lichen samples for Dr Sky’s research. The Sitka that we photographed is located just a few miles outside of Cape Perpetua on the Oregon Coast. It’s a truly epic tree and truly epic people. ---- We thank our sponsors 🌲🔝❤️🙏👩‍🔬👨‍🎨 ---- @wesspur_tree | @teufelbergertreecare | @thenorthface_aunz | @bigwallgear | @rodemic | @climbing_anchors | #Arborist #arblife #treecare #tree #treesofinstagram #treework #research #treetop #canopy #science #art #sciart #explore #womenintrees #oldgrowth #treehunter #womanarborist
PACIFIC NORTHWEST TREE PROJECT 🌲❤️🇺🇸 - Holly smokes check out this one from the top of the most epic Doug Fir way after sunset. We are ready to start releasing content from this project but we are just waiting to find a partner to help with the in country distraction, any ideas? ---- We thank our sponsors 🌲🔝❤️🙏👩‍🔬👨‍🎨 ---- @wesspur_tree | @teufelbergertreecare | @thenorthface_aunz | @bigwallgear | @rodemic | @climbing_anchors | #Arborist #arblife #treecare #treeclimbing #treework #research #canopy #inspiration #education #conservation #bigtrees #treesofinstagram #climbing_is_my_passion #climbinggirls #womenintrees #arborgirls #femalearborist
