***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.
