***Note on Trees and Development
I’m currently accepting development projects that demonstrate an effort toward tree or community stewardship, for example:

  • homeowner projects with a focus on protected tree preservation
  • commercial and high density housing projects that reuse developed sites
  • community service projects such as affordable housing and public works

I’m no longer accepting the following types of development projects:

  • homeowner projects with excessive or avoidable protected tree impacts
  • projects that create new development on naturally wooded sites
  • “spec house” type projects with protected trees on the site

Please reach out via my Contact page and we can discuss whether I’m the right fit for your development project.
