Tree Climbing Schools and Training Programs: How to Choose
Students interested in tree work should look for training programs that offer basic and advanced tree climbing skills taught by an experienced instructor. Because tree work can be dangerous and difficult, proper training on safety procedures is essential for prospective workers or hobbyists.
How to Select a Tree Climbing School
Most tree climbing training programs offer training specifically for arborists or other tree workers. Training is typically offered via standalone courses.
Summary of Important Considerations
- Experienced instructors
- Fieldwork
- Class size
- Curriculum
Experienced Instructors
One of the most important aspects of choosing a tree climbing school is to find an experienced instructor. Some instructors are certified through the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), either as arborists, tree workers or tree specialists of various types. Most programs highlight the safety record of their instructors.
Another important factor when choosing a tree climbing school is ensuring that the program offers practical training. Students should spend the majority of the course actually in the trees, where they gain the hands-on experience necessary to succeed as a tree worker.
Class Size
In addition, students should seek a training program that offers a low student-to-teacher ratio. Many programs don't allow more than three students per instructor. This ensures that the instructor can give students individualized attention that promotes student safety at all times. Smaller classes also give students more interaction with instructors, solidifying understanding of the topics and techniques being taught.
Most tree climbing training schools offer a variety of courses, starting with basic climbing for those with little or no experience and advancing to courses designed for professional tree workers. In the courses, students learn tree climbing fundamentals, including how to assess a tree's condition prior to climbing, the use of the traditional double-rope technique and the proper placement of ropes within the tree.
Tree Climbing Program Overviews
Basic Tree Climbing Course
Basic tree climbing courses for tree workers are usually taught during a weekend and offer practical experience, covering topics such as knot tying and rope placement. Students receive information about how to select and maintain gear needed for safe tree climbing. In addition, courses introduce topics such as:
- Tree selection
- How to safely maneuver within the tree
- Ground descending.
Advanced Tree Climbing Course
Advanced tree climbing courses, generally offered for a week's duration, focus on the more technical aspects of tree climbing and tree work. Students spend a lot of time on the ground and in the trees, learning how to perform an in-depth assessment of each tree and the proper climbing techniques needed for a successful climb. Other topics include:
- Alternative rigging methods
- Canopy access methods
- Single-rope climbing techniques

Older and Younger Parents
Another change in family composition that impacts schools for young children is the age of parents themselves. People are having children at both older and younger ages. Teen pregnancies and birth rates among unmarried women remain high in the United States as compared to other industrialized nations, despite many efforts to make young people aware of the major challenges facing teen parents (Annie E. Casey Foundation, 2006).
At the same time, many couples are choosing to wait until later in life to begin families. This older group of parents tends to be well educated and brings a diversity of life and work experiences to their interactions with schools. Statistics on older parents are sketchy, but it appears that the numbers are growing (Martin, Kochanek, Strobino, Guyer, & MacDorman, 2005).
Ethnic/Cultural Diversity
Another fact of life today in the United States is that families continue to grow more diverse in terms of ethnic/cultural background (Hildebrand et al., 2000). It is estimated, for example, that the non-Hispanic White population in this country will decrease from nearly 75% in 1980 to approximately 47% by the year 2020 (Forum on Child and Family Statistics, 2006). With relatively stable birth rates for whites and considerably higher birth rates for the Hispanic population in particular, family diversity continues to grow (U.S. Census Bureau, 2000). Family diversity will also grow because of the number of immigrants from Asia and other parts of the world. One additional reason for the growing ethnic/cultural diversity of families is that there is an increase in multiracial families (U.S. Census Bureau, 2000).
In addition to modifications that need to occur in the curriculum because of these changes in demography (see Chapter ), this increasing diversity will also influence the kinds of interactions that teachers have with parents and families. For example, Asian American parents tend to have high academic expectations for their children but also feel that the school should have considerable autonomy in dealing with academic and discipline-related issues (Olsen & Fuller, 2003). Consequently, they may be less likely to get involved in some aspects of school life. Adults working with young children and their families need to be aware of these cultural/ethnic differences and adjust to them as plans are made to involve parents and families in the educational process.
Family Mobility
Another characteristic of families today that significantly impacts teachers is the relocation of families in new communities (Gestwicki, 2007). In some cases, this movement is brought about when one or both parents are promoted to a higher position in a corporation or relocate to find a better job in a new community. Members of the American military community also move frequently. For other families, regular moves are a necessary condition for employment. Hispanic migrant workers, for example, move around the country taking seasonal agricultural jobs. In many parts of the country, the children of these workers move in and out of schools on a regular and predictable basis. Regardless of the reason, family mobility frequently leads to stress and can impact the family's willingness to be involved in school. In a military family, for example, the husband may be deployed overseas, while mom and the children remain on a military base. In addition to the same stresses faced by a single parent, this mom may have high anxiety over her husband's safety and have little extra energy and time for the schools.
Homeless Families
Each night in the United States, approximately 100,000 children are homeless (Berger, 2004). They may spend the night in a shelter, an abandoned building, or the family car. While statistics on homelessness are sketchy, it appears that the number of homeless families with children is a large proportion of those seeking shelter in missions (Union Mission Ministries, 2006) and that these families make up nearly 40% of the homeless (Berger, 2004). Clearly, the stress level of homeless families is high, and involvement with the schools tends to be a low priority. In many instances, homeless children either do not attend school at all or participate only sporadically. Teachers and caregivers should make a special effort to assist these families by directing them to community agencies that can provide them with services. And, despite the challenges, it is also critical that homeless families remain connected to the schools. The school setting may be one of the few areas of relative stability for these children.

Was in the neighborhood of the Seafood Shack today around lunch as I don't get overthere very often and remembered this thread. Had the shrip tostado and man it was tasy. Cool spot also. I sat at the bar and watched the food come out and there was alot great looking stuff. Anyone have any other suggestion for the Shack? Caldo de Camarones look great too.

re: J.R.
I typically like the flautas quite a lot - they're fried to deep golden brown, crispy/crunchy perfection. Not oily at all. However, I went yesterday, and they were just... good. Not quite as perfectly fried as the other 5 times I've eaten them. Hope they're not slipping!
The cocktels are good too.

re: J.R.
I had the Wednesday Shack special tonight , lb. of spiced shrimp w/ corn on the cob, small red potatoes. Shrimp are too many/ small to peel, so I bucked up and ate the shells, too, just not the tails. Tasty sauce, they should serve bread to sop it up. It was more than I could eat.
Tuesday is 30 cent oyster night, are you kidding? And they looked good - $3.60 a dozen? I'll be back Tuesday for serious hoisting. I found the reco here yesterday, thanks, hounds.
re: gavlist
Ditto here on the "fresh" oysters. Not good. However, eating lunch there on Monday, my friend had the fried oysters and she loved them.
re: twinwillow
gav and twin, thanks for the heads up caution about the oysters at the Shack. It sounded to good to be true, I'm willing to pay up for fresh, fresh. The oysters I spied at Nates last night at a nearby table looked good...opinions? I had a nice dinner at Nates and they gave me an Abita beer glass to keep after only a small amount of shameless groveling because I brought so little kitchen gear with me to Texas.

Aussies Think Government Should Protect Environment
June 18, 2014
View the original article: UNESCO, protect Tasmanian wilderness
Without any new evidence, the Abbott government is trying to convince the committee that 74,000 hectares of forest is heavily degraded and not worthy of protection.
Most countries spend years, sometimes decades, seeking World Heritage listing for their special places.
But the Australian government has other ideas. It's in the process of asking UNESCO's World Heritage Committee to 'delist' 74,000 hectares of Tasmanian forests, so the area can be opened up to logging.
The 38th world heritage committee meeting, currently taking place in Doha, Qatar, is expected to consider Australia's extraordinary request in the next few days.
The Federal Government claims the area it wants delisted is "degraded", but I disagree. And I'm not alone: over 70,000 people have signed a petition calling on the Government and UNESCO to maintain the listing.
Where's the evidence?
Scientists from the International Union for Conservation of Nature and the International Council on Monuments and Sites have advised the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, in a brief but damning report, not to approve the Abbott government's unprecedented request to delist the 74,000 hectares of forest, which were added to the Tasmanian wilderness world heritage area less than a year ago.
Last year's additions gave protection to wild and stunning landscapes, including the Upper Styx, Florentine, Weld and Derwent valleys and parts of the Great Western Tiers and Recherche Bay.
The previous federal government argued these areas were of outstanding universal value and thus worthy of World Heritage protection.
Now, without any new evidence or information to the contrary, the Abbott government is trying to convince the committee that 74,000 hectares of forest from these same areas is heavily degraded and not worthy of protection.
World Heritage – a badge of pride!
In a previous life as a Tasmanian parks and wildlife ranger, my job was to inspire, in locals and tourists alike, a love and appreciation for Tasmania's natural wonders. It was not difficult.
During the years I spent walking and working in the Tassie bush, I came to see the beauty and value of the island's natural heritage at a very deep level. The Tasmanian wilderness became part of me and continues to shape and inspire my life's work as an environmental advocate.
Being a ranger was a wonderful job and I was proud to wear the khaki uniform with the Tassie devil patch on the shoulder. In our training, my fellow rangers and I were schooled in the significance of the World Heritage status afforded to Tasmania's wildest places.
First declared in 1982, expanded in 1989 and again 2013, world heritage listing conferred the highest level of protection for the most spectacular and important landscapes. Back then, governments at both levels were proud advocates and defenders of World Heritage.
The Australian people strongly support World Heritage
New national polling conducted by Lonergan Research on behalf of the Australian Conservation Foundation found an overwhelming majority of Australians (97%) agreed that, regardless of economic or political pressure to exploit natural places on the world heritage list, the Australian government should do all it could to protect them.
Nine in 10 Australians (91%) believed the 74,000 hectares of Tasmanian wilderness should remain listed, the poll found.
Even the head of the Forest Industries Association of Tasmania, Terry Edwards, is on the public record as saying: "We don't support any or all excisions to the world heritage area."
Given this broad chorus of support for maintaining listing for the recently added forests, why on earth is the Abbott government not listening?
It's the politics, stupid
The Abbott Government's request to the committee is not about delivering environmental or scientific objectives, but political ones.
These include the PM's controversial commitment to tear up the Tasmanian forest agreement and strip back the recent additions – because, he argued, too much forest was already locked up in national parks.
Many Australians will be watching with bated breath over the next few days as the World Heritage Committee decides whether to uphold or reject the Australian government's shameful and unprecedented request, which risks diminishing Tasmania's wilderness and the universal significance of world heritage protection.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Big business and labor have struck a deal on a new low-skilled worker program, removing the biggest hurdle to completion of sweeping immigration legislation allowing 11 million illegal immigrants eventual U.S. citizenship, labor and Senate officials said Saturday.
The agreement was reached in a phone call late Friday night with AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, U.S. Chamber of Commerce head Tom Donohue, and Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, who's been mediating the dispute.
The deal resolves disagreements over wages for the new workers and which industries would be included. Those disputes had led talks to break down a week ago, throwing into doubt whether Schumer and seven other senators crafting a comprehensive bipartisan immigration bill would be able to complete their work as planned.
The deal must still be signed off on by the other senators working with Schumer, including Republicans John McCain of Arizona and Marco Rubio of Florida, but that's expected to happen, according to a person with knowledge of the talks who spoke on condition of anonymity. With the agreement in place, the senators are expected to unveil their legislation the week of April 8. Their measure would secure the border, crack down on employers, improve legal immigration and create a 13-year pathway to citizenship for the millions of illegal immigrants already here.
It's a major second-term priority of President Barack Obama's and would usher in the most dramatic changes to the nation's faltering immigration system in more than two decades.
"The strength of the consensus across America for just reform has afforded us the momentum needed to forge an agreement in principle to develop a new type of employer visa system," Trumka said in a statement late Saturday. "We expect that this new program, which benefits not just business, but everyone, will promote long overdue reforms by raising the bar for existing programs."
Schumer said: "This issue has always been the dealbreaker on immigration reform, but not this time."
The AFL-CIO and the Chamber of Commerce, longtime antagonists over temporary worker programs, had been fighting over wages for tens of thousands of low-skilled workers who would be brought in under the new program to fill jobs in construction, hotels and resorts, nursing homes and restaurants, and other industries.
Under the agreement, a new "W'' visa program would go into effect beginning April 1, 2015, according to an AFL-CIO fact sheet.
In year one of the program, 20,000 workers would be allowed in; in year two, 35,000; in year three, 55,000; and in year four, 75,000. Ultimately the program would be capped at 200,000 workers a year, but the number of visas would fluctuate, depending on unemployment rates, job openings, employer demand and data collected by a new federal bureau pushed by the labor movement as an objective monitor of the market. One-third of all visas in any year would go to businesses with under 25 workers.
A "safety valve" would allow employers to exceed the cap if they can show need and pay premium wages, but any additional workers brought in would be subtracted from the following year's cap.
The workers could move from employer to employer and would be able to petition for permanent residency after a year, and ultimately seek U.S. citizenship. Neither is possible for temporary workers now.

John Sinclair (poet) On 20 January 2009, to mark Barack Obama's inauguration as the 44th President of the United States, Sinclair performed a series of his poems accompanied by a live band, featuring Elliott Levin, Tony Bianco and Jair-Rohm Parker Wells at Cafe OTO in Dalston, East London.[14][15] John Sinclair has recorded several of his poems and essays.
On these albums blues and jazz musicians provide psychedelic soundscapes to accompany his delivery: Les Beats Hotels - William S. Burroughs. Allen Ginsberg. Irwin Allen Ginsberg (/ˈɡɪnzbərɡ/; June 3, 1926 – April 5, 1997) was an American poet and one of the leading figures of both the Beat Generation of the 1950s and the counterculture that soon would follow.
He vigorously opposed militarism, economic materialism and sexual repression. Ginsberg is best known for his epic poem "Howl", in which he denounced what he saw as the destructive forces of capitalism and conformity in the United States.[1][2][3] Hipster (1940s subculture) Bing Crosby in 1942 In 1939, the word hepster was used by Cab Calloway in the title of his Hepster's Dictionary, which defines hep cat as "a guy who knows all the answers, understands jive".
In 1944, pianist Harry Gibson modified this to hipster[2] in his short glossary "For Characters Who Don't Dig Jive Talk," published in 1944 with the album Boogie Woogie In Blue, featuring the self-titled hit "Handsome Harry the Hipster".[3] The entry for hipsters defined them as "characters who like hot jazz. " In his book Jazz: A History (1977), Frank Tirro defines the 1940s hipster:

ECB Could Be Done Helping Eurozone Economy
By DAVID McHUGH
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) â¿¿ The European Central Bank is unlikely to offer any further help for Europe's sagging economy Thursday after already lowering interest rates to record lows and calming the region's debt crisis with its plan to buy the bonds of heavily indebted governments.
After a year that has seen ⿬1 trillion ($1.3 trillion) in emergency loans to banks, a rate cut, and President Mario Draghi's vow to "do whatever it takes" to rescue the euro, some analysts say the ECB may consider itself finished with efforts to rescue the economy of the 17 European Union countries that use the euro.
Analysts say the bank will hold off cutting its key refinancing rate any further from its current 0.75 percent when the bank's 22-member governing council gathers at its headquarters in Frankfurt. The council sets monetary policy for the eurozone and its 333 million people.
It is also unlikely that the ECB will offer any major new emergency measures, after Draghi made the risky but crucial step in September of saying the bank could buy unlimited amounts of government bonds and lower borrowing costs for those governments, such as Spain and Italy, that are struggling to finance their debts. Eurozone financial markets have calmed since ECB made its offer, though it has yet to buy a single bond under it. The ECB would only do so if a country asks for the help and agrees to take steps to reduce its deficit. Even so, the bond offer and calmer markets have so far removed the threat of a government might be forced to default on its debts. But it will take more than that to get the wider economy moving again. The eurozone shrank 0.1 percent in the third quarter, and is likely to shrink again in the last three months of the year. Meanwhile, the ECB is expected to cut its forecast for next year from 0.5 percent to near zero, in line with the forecast for 0.1 percent growth from the EU's executive commission.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Artists That Inspire Me 17Welcome to all reading this journal my regular feature of the work of others.Below are the artists whose work has inspired me since my last journal entry. The selections made by no means cover everyone that deserves to be here. In time many many more will follow, as with each passing week I discover so many more talented creative people on here, that one journal entry could never do them all justice. So many of you out there are producing work that leaves me in awe, and it would be unfair of me not to acknowledge the creators of work that has caught my eye and imagination. This journal features some of the more recent works that have stopped me in my tracks. They are presented in no particular order, they are simply a selection that I believe need to be seen and acknowledged by others for their beauty, artistry and ability. I would encourage you all to visit each artist featured as I truly believe that in the DA community we learn so much from each other.There will be mor

The Rise Of "The Challenger Sale": Corporate Executive Board Research Confirms The Demise Of Relationship Selling
ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Corporate Executive Board (CEB) (NYSE: EXBD), a leading research and advisory services firm, today announced the release of " The Challenger Sale: Taking Control of the Customer Conversation," a new book that confirms companies are wasting precious time and money cultivating sales people who focus on building and maintaining relationships instead of teaching business insights—the number one attribute customers value in today's complex selling environment. " The Challenger Sale" prescribes specific steps companies can take to develop a sales force of Challengers, which in a study of more than 6,000 sales reps, consistently outperformed other types of sales reps by nearly 15 percent.
To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please visit: http://www.multivu.com/mnr/52980-corporate-executive-board-new-book-the-challenger-sale-dixon-adamson
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111114/MM04090 )
Challenger reps are defined not by overly aggressive behavior, but by their ability to teach new insights, tailor the message for different types of stakeholders and take control of the overall sales conversation. In contrast to Relationship Builders, who seek to resolve tension throughout the sale, Challengers maintain a certain amount of constructive tension across the sale to keep it moving forward.
"When it comes to star-performing sales profiles, there is a clear winner and a clear loser. The dominant performance of the Challenger profile stands in stark contrast to that of the Relationship Builder profile, which represents only four percent of sales stars in complex sales. It's ironic given that Relationship Builder is the profile most sales leaders have placed the biggest bets on," says co-author Matthew Dixon, managing director, CEB. The success of the Challenger profile is not surprising given that more than 53 percent of what drives B2B customer loyalty is the sales experience itself. While business customers perceive very little difference between suppliers in terms of brand, product, service and price, they perceive huge difference in terms of the quality of the sales experience. "SPIN Selling" author Neil Rackham notes in the book's forward that "Customers have been demanding more depth and expertise. They expect salespeople to teach them things they don't know. These are the core skills of Challengers. They are the skills of the future, and any sales force that ignores the message of this book does so at its peril." The good news for companies whose ranks are not already filled with Challenger sales reps is that Challengers aren't only born, they can be made. "Up to 80 percent of sales reps can become Challengers when armed with the right tools, training and coaching. Companies can immediately begin to leverage the un-tapped value locked away in the core of their sales force," says co-author Brent Adamson, managing director, CEB. "By transforming the existing sales force into a Challenger sales force, companies can begin to realize the financial benefits associated with higher levels of sales performance." Organizations that want to take advantage of the benefits Challenger Reps deliver should:- Generate Buy In – From the senior-most executives to the sales force team members, an organization must form consensus and buy in to the Challenger vision as the new way forward for sales.
- Identify Their Challenger Deficit – An organization first needs to assess their sales reps and determine what percentage of the team does and does not fit the Challenger profile. For those who do not, companies should help reps understand what it will take for them to close their skill gap.
- Align Marketing Support – Sales should educate marketing on the value of customer insight in today's solutions selling environment and the crucial role marketing plays in generating teachable insights for sales reps to deliver to customers.
- Reinforce Challenger Behaviors – A close working partnership between sales and human resources is a must in order to provide effective training and coaching for sales staff that reinforces Challenger behaviors on an ongoing basis.

Get plenty of these vitamins to fight fatigue and feel your best.
American College of Healthcare Sciences provides four holistic health education graduate programs in...
The To Your Health column covers health advice topics on grinding your teeth and methods to reduce it, vitamin deficiencies and how Folic Acid and B12 can help, and getting your exercise through the simple task of walking.
When it concerns the fitness of body, mind or spirit, the editors of American Health are there, staying on top of up-to-date medical research, providing health advice, separating fad from fact and helping you preserve and improve life's most precious gift—your good health. Here are just a few items culled from recent and upcoming issues, including another connection between nutrition and cancer prevention.
Bruxers are people who clench, grind and gnash their teeth, accelerating tooth wear and frequently giving themselves broken fillings and headaches. University of Florida psychologist Jeff Cassisi and other researchers at the University of Missouri tracked 10 heavy-duty bruxers who wore nighttime sensors attached to their cheeks for two weeks. Whenever the sensor detected extreme tension in the chewing muscle (the masseter), a bedside alarm went off, which the bruxer had to get up and turn off: As a result, those bruxers reduced nocturnal gnashing for two weeks after treatment. Cassisi hopes the alarm can permanently change behavior, eliminating the need for the traditional antibruxing plastic mouthpiece.
Beta-carotene has gotten a lot of press as a cancer preventive, but another health boosting ingredient of leafy green vegetables is folic acid.
A 1985 USDA survey found that the diets of women average only 51% of the RDA for folic acid, of men 76%. Furthermore, studies have found that smokers with injured lung cells have particularly low levels of both folic acid and B 12 . These deficiencies may lead to DNA mutations, making lung cells even more susceptible to such carcinogens as cigarette smoke.
More recently, nutrition scientist Douglas Heimburger, M.D., and colleagues at the University of Alabama Medical Center in Birmingham studied 73 male heavy smokers with potentially precancerous lung cells. Half the group received daily doses of 10 mg folic acid (25 times the U.S. RDA) and 500 mcg B 12 (83 times), and the other half were given placebos. At four months, six of the 37 untreated controls spontaneously showed reduced lung-cell injury, but two-and-a-half times more of the treated men—14 of 36—had reduced injury.
Heimburger cautions that though the results are encouraging, smokers shouldn't use supplements as an excuse not to quit. "The benefits of quitting smoking far outweigh those of dietary changes," he stresses.
Folic acid also protects against birth defects, and another Alabama study found that 22 women with cervical dysplasia (potentially premalignant cells) improved when treated with folic acid alone, while a control group stayed the same or worsened.
The best natural sources of this helpful vitamin are dark-green leafy vegetables such as spinach and romaine lettuce, as well as broccoli, oranges and liver.
It's long been doctrine that you have to exercise hard 20 to 60 minutes a day, three to five times a week, to reap many health benefits. Living up to that standard is so intimidating that a lot of people don't even try. Among those who agree to start an exercise program, half don't make it past six months. (Studies show that 25% of these dropouts don't even appear for their first session! )
But workouts don't have to be difficult to be healthful. Dr. James M. Rippe, cardiologist and a leading physiology researcher at the University of Massachusetts medical school, recently reported on some significant research breakthroughs. He's found that you can reap immediate benefits from less exercise than was previously believed.
For example, mild exercise—such as walking—can reduce tension, anxiety and blood pressure on the first day, and, over a moderate distance (about three miles), you get about the same relaxing benefits whether your walking speed is fast, medium or slow.
Additionally, in a 12-week study Rippe conducted with 23 women of average fitness, as little as 12 minutes of stationary cycling done three times a week produced a significant improvement in maximum oxygen consumption (VO 2 max), the measure of aerobic conditioning. In fact, a 50% boost in VO 2 max occurred within two weeks. The results suggest that average women—and probably men, as well—can develop a healthier heart and body without sweaty efforts.

Wind adds jobs, needs greener EU policy -industry

* Labour-intensive offshore wind can accelerate job growth
* Calls for firm renewable policy goal beyond 2020
BRUSSELS, April 16 (Reuters) - Wind power has bucked Europe's economic downturn to swell gross domestic product and create jobs but needs more ambitious EU green energy policy and investment in research and development to keep growing, the region's industry group said on Monday.
The sector contributed 32 billion euros ($42 billion) to European Union GDP in 2010, up by a third since 2007, according to a report by the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA).
It said jobs in the sector had reached nearly 240,000 by 2010, an increase of just under one third in 2007-2010, while unemployment rose by 9.6 percent.
The number employed in European wind should reach 520,000 by 2020, boosted by increased use of offshore wind which is more labour-intensive than onshore, the association estimated.
It forecast the wind industry's contribution to GDP would nearly triple to 94.5 billion euros by 2020.
"Wind energy is a recession-busting industry," said Arthouros Zervos, president of EWEA and also chief executive of Greece's biggest electricity producer, PPC, which has suffered as the nation has crumpled under a huge debt burden.
"It is countering the recession - providing increasing economic activity, more jobs and exports every year to an EU struggling with an economic crisis intensified by ever increasing amounts of fuel being imported at rising costs to European citizens."
The contribution to growth is both direct from the wind sector itself and indirect from related service industries.
That growth also reduces the amount needed for oil and gas imports, which the European Commission president has said cost 700 euros per year for each EU citizen.
EWEA said strong EU policies, centred on firm targets, led to European leadership of the wind industry, but now the industry body is pushing for the bloc to agree on future goals.
The Commission has set great store by greener energy as a means to spur the economy, but the bloc has been struggling to reach agreement on policy beyond a set of 2020 targets, including one to increase the share of renewables in the energy mix to 20 percent.
"EWEA believes that the most effective way to maintain and expand Europe's leadership in wind energy would be a continuation of those policies in the form of a binding 2030 renewable energy target," it said.
The pioneering wind nations -- Denmark, Germany and Spain -- have been losing market share to new markets, but the upside is that they are exporting parts to them.
To retain first-mover advantage, however, increased research and development is essential, together with policies "to support the continued development of a European wind industry", the group said.
EWEA said it took the 2007-2010 time period for the report, because data for that period was solid, but its policy analysts said the trend since 2010 has been broadly unchanged.
