Maineac,

Maybe your are right. It might be worth doing that. We are heading out late summer to do some scouting anyway, would be a good time to talk to them about it. We mentioned it to them last year but just couldnt describe well enough what the climber does. Maybe pics would show them and let them decide from there.

I think maybe the problem would come down to what is superficial and what would hurt the tree in their eyes. I would hope that in their years and years as tree farmers that they would know what is ok and what is harmful.

Thanks again for everyone's input and suggestions.
