Municipal Arborist & Urban Forestry Consultants
Wachtel Tree Science consulting arborists are your partner in municipal tree care. Consider us a one-stop-shop! Our team works to provide the guidance, recommendations, and services your community needs. We’ll help you find the right TCIA-accredited companies to handle your trees’ long-term needs – whether that is Wachtel Tree Science or other local Certified Arborists.
Serving as your municipal arborist and urban forestry consultant, we’ll spend time learning about your community and its goals. We investigate things like “What are the long-term goals of the community?” “What is the history of forestry activities in the community?” “Does the community value trees?” and finally “How can our consulting arborist team best help this municipality?"
After these questions are answered and plans are implemented, Wachtel Tree Science helps facilitate and oversee the contracted services, providing site inspections when necessary to ensure the highest standards of municipal tree care.
