Call up Joe, from the City of Greeley Forestry Dept, and pass him along the info. He then could call this guy to find out if he is a licensed tree contractor.--Which, I'd be willing to put money that he isn't. City Forestry Office

Scroll down to see his contact info.

Never the less, I do understand the concern here. We compete against "hackers" every where around here and it is frustrating when we are looking for work.

It is also frustrating when local municipalities don't have the power to enforce their own regulations against guys like this.
