Tour des trees

http://www.stihltourdestrees.org/

Scott Baker has participated in this week-long, 500+ mile bike tour to raise money for tree research five times over the past decade. In his most recent ride in 2007, he and his family raised over $12,000 for the Tree Research and Education Endowment Fund (TREE Fund).

Washington Park Arboretum Sonic Tomography

In April, 2009, Tree Solutions Inc. donated their time to test three trees in the UW Botanic Gardens / Washington Park Arboretum in Seattle. We used sonic tomography, a recently developed device from Fakkop Enterprise of Hungary that uses sound waves to detect decay in a tree. We were thrilled to have had this opportunity to use the most up-to-date technology for the means of assisting in the preservation of the Arboretum's large trees.

Some of the organizations that have benefited from donated time from Tree Solutions:

Washington Park Arboretum
Seattle Country Day School
City of Seattle Parks and Recreation Staff
Puget Sound Action Team (Mukilteo)
Island Wood (Bainbridge Island)
Plant Amnesty (Seattle)
International Society of Arboriculture
(Pacific Northwest Chapter)
Collins Woerman AIA (Seattle)
Puget Sound chapter of the American Planners Association
Bellevue High School
