    Portland Paradox Walnut Update (major bummer alert)

    Hey all, As many of you probably remember, back in 2014 there was a large uproar in Portland, Oregon about a massive Juglans hinsii X regia that was slated to be cut down to make way for condos. After an Earth Day protest where a large group of arborists climbed the tree, the developer bowed to...

    Calling NorCal folks

    Hey all, I've got a bit of an odd one on my plate here and am wondering if I could throw it to the buzz for help. I'm looking for a few partially decayed coast redwood nurse logs which I could acquire for a project in the bay area. Needs to be legit, so verifiably sourced from somebody's...

    Paradox Walnut in Portland saved

    Hey all, thought you might like to hear a follow up to the story of the Paradox walnut in Portland that resulted in a bunch of arborists having a 'climb-in' on earth day 2014. Due to this and other community pressure, the developer altered the plan, removing 2 units from the development to...

    Google tree climbing ad

    Hey all, Thought you might find the clip below pretty interesting. This is an ad shoot that myself and some other notable Portland arbs worked on over the summer. Funny how much work went into that less than 10 seconds of tree climbing footage. I do like the double fishermans bit though.

    Video: Climbing Canada's Loneliest Tree

    Hi all, A few weeks back I traveled up to BC to join in the effort to climb and measure Big Lonely Doug, the second largest known douglas fir in Canada. This tree gets its name due to the fact that it sits alone in the middle of a clearcut as of late 2012. We traveled out to the site near...

    Biggest Maple is Down

    We received word in mid-March that the National Champion Bigleaf Maple (Acer macrophyllum) in Jewell, Oregon had finally succumbed to gravity. Because we heard about this just before the Treeverse, it's taken until now to visit the fallen giant and update our website with recent photos...
