My mission is to persuade the industry, and the world, to plant trees in a fashion so those become a long-lasting and useful part of our lives. So those same trees don't need to be continually replaced but will remain as a beautiful and functional amenity for many years to come. Really, my job is just to give folks an understanding, plus an incentive, as to how you will benefit every time you plant a tree right, not wrong.
