What does a Senior Tree Officer do? I am responsible for taking care of over 3, 000 trees across 36 places. I also make sure the trees are healthy and strong. |
Have you always loved trees and the outdoors? My dad has always had a love of nature. He loves watching birds, so from a young age I had a very outdoorsy childhood. |
Do you ever feel scared of heights? Tree climbing and outdoor activities were always a part of my childhood, but as you grow up, you lose that fearlessness (无畏). There are some moments when you get to the top of a tree and you're questioning a lot of things, but you have to calm down and don't overthink things. |
What do you like about trees? Their beauty. Every tree can tell a story. |
Do you have a favourite tree fact? How shallow (浅的) tree roots are! A lot of people think they go down deep, but they're actually shallow, only in the top metre of earth and wide spreading (延展). |
What is your favourite type of tree? One of my favourites is a paperbark maple. I've got one in my garden that I planted a few years ago. It's got this lovely rich dark brown bark. |
How would you describe Go Ape in three words? Adventure, fun and trees. |
What do you want to say to our readers? "Come and enjoy the treetop adventures in our courses!" |

Simple tips on ROAD TRIP PREPARATION Preparing a road trip can be tiring. There are a few things you can do to make it a success. | |
①SERVICE YOUR CAR Keep your car running well by getting an oil change before you head out on the road. Check the tires (轮胎) too! You'll save yourself a headache later on. | ③TAKE THINGS TO DO While road trips are definitely (确定地) about the destination (目的地), make sure you pack things for your kids to do to kill the time. At least for an hour or two. It will stop them from complaining all the time. |
②DON'T FORGET THE SNACKS The only thing worse than "Are we there yet?" is "I'm hungry!" every 2 minutes. So pack snacks. Lots of snacks. | ④STOP FREQUENTLY Half of the road trip is getting there. There is nothing fun about getting to your destination completely exhausted (筋疲力尽的). Stop at cool places, get some fresh air and take a look around. |
