From Trees to Trails: A Letter from the Field

When you grow up with the land, you come to see it differently. Not just for what it is—but for what it can become when it’s thoughtfully managed. I’ve spent the past decade walking properties that range from tight mountain lots to vast working ranches, and what they all have in common is the potential to support something more. More safety. More beauty. More use. More legacy.

At Outlaw Forestry, we don’t just clear trees. We help landowners steward their property in a way that aligns with both their values and vision. Whether that means building out snowmobile trails, enhancing elk habitat, or creating defensible space that meets local wildfire mitigation codes, our work is always shaped by the land itself.

A Background Rooted in Forestry and the Field

With over 9 years as a licensed arborist and a lifetime spent hunting, riding, and working outdoors, I bring more than technical knowledge to the job—I bring perspective. I know what it takes to design land that works season after season, not just on paper but in practice. That’s the difference between standard tree removal and long-term land strategy.

More Than a Jobsite

We often tell clients: this is your land, but it’s also your legacy. The work we do isn’t just about compliance—it’s about creating places your family can return to, season after season. We clear pasture for grazing. We restore neglected acreage. We lay down trails for access. And we always approach it with a deep respect for what’s already there.

Whether you’re preparing your property for winter, restoring native growth, or developing infrastructure for future use, we’re here to help you think beyond the next season and into the next generation.
