Westonbirt Arboretum plays host to the first major show in the STIHL summer events calendar, The ARB Show. Taking place on the 12th and 13th of May, the show is a celebration of the best of British and international tree work deep in the heart of the countryside, with demonstrations, displays and much more on show to arborists and countryside enthusiasts. As main sponsor of the show, we will be out in force, demonstrating why STIHL is the perfect partner for any arborist. But what can you expect from us? Check out the following to find out!
Watch a Carving Master
Simon O’Rourke is one of the finest chainsaw carvers in the world. Using just a chainsaw, he can produce incredible sculptures and features with exceptionally fine detail. Some of his previous sculptures have included Batman, a lighthouse and an eagle! Simon will be joining us at The ARB Show for a special one hour session on Friday and Saturday afternoon, showcasing his skills. So, whether you’re a budding carver, or just would like to see a master at work, come down and see these incredible sculptures being made.
Product Demos
The arborist’s best friend in the eyes of many is the top-handled chainsaw. They allow for greater flexibility of movement when working in trees. A range of our tools will be on show, from our lightest arb saw, the MS 150 TC-E, to the extremely powerful MS 201 TC-M, our experts will explain everything about these impressive saws. And for areas you can reach from the ground, check out our pole pruner demos featuring the cordless HTA 85!
Try our latest saws
The ARB show is a fantastic opportunity to try out our range of forestry chainsaws, and find out which one suits your needs best. With
