Certified Arborist · Utility Vegetation Management
Shane Sipple
I find dangerous trees before they become problems. Rigorous tree science in service of keeping the lights on and the forests standing.
One assessment can prevent an outage for thousands of people. Sometimes it can prevent a wildfire. That is what this work is for.
