Our COVID-19 Response

Today, Governor Baker announced the closure of all nonessential “brick and mortar” businesses. As urban forestry professionals, we are committed to maintaining the safety and health of our community’s trees, as long as it falls under the essential services the state has outlined. Focusing on necessary removals and hazard mitigations will continue under this designation.

We will maintain 100% contactless tree care to our clients, and keep to our assigned tools and trucks so our crew may operate with safe and necessary physical distancing measures.

Members of the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) and International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) have drafted a helpful list of work items that they identified as essential activities, which we will perform during this time. The full joint statement can be read here. The services are as follows:

• Hazard tree removal or removal or a dangerous tree
• Pruning of dead, dying, or dangerous limbs
• Treatment for invasive insects which if left untreated would rapidly destroy a tree causing a hazard
• Utility line clearance
• Road safety clearance
• Cabling or bracing a hazardous tree
• Mitigating storm damage
• Emergency response readiness
• Treatment for ticks and mosquitos or other public health treatments
• Removal of fire damaged or fuel trees in a fire hazard area
• Assessment of hazard trees or pest issues for the purposes of removal or treatment as described above

Thank you for your continued support, and our patience as we prioritize what is essential at this time. We are still accepting order for nonessential plantings, pruning, and landscape projects, but we’ll be required to delay the start date until after April 7th (or as the state updates its restrictions).
