Tree Climbers International is an organization of tree-climbers headquartered in Atlanta, not far from where I live. Nick DeLuca (former team leader in TB) and I had talked about trying it out for years...and we finally did.
They do a weekend beginner's climb, where you learn the basics and get to climb up into Nimrod or Diana, the giant trees on site. Ropes are slung up into the branches and you wear a harness to climb the ropes.
You do not actually touch the tree to climb it. 
I made it up to the first branch to sit there and admire the view.
