MTCC moves from Manistee to Traverse City
After a more complete evaluation of the site for the MTCC event in Manistee, the trees unfortunately failed to meet competitive requirements.

Ypsilanti – ISA Michigan (formally the Arboriculture Society of Michigan) is moving its 26th Annual Michigan Tree Climbing Championship (MTCC) to Orchard Beach State Park in Manistee, Michigan. The outside event had been planned for Belle Isle in Detroit, however due to restrictions on outside gatherings in Regions 1-5 and 7 it became challenging to hold the event in Detroit. Finding a location in Region 6, where Manistee is located, will allow the event to be held as it was planned. The ISA Michigan Board of Directors and the MTCC Committee are looking forward to working with the DNR and local Manistee companies and residents on planning the Competition and bringing awareness of the profession and tree care to the community.
