Expert tree care by the preservation specialists
Woodpecker Tree Care Ltd. has nearly doubled in size this year. We received an overwhelmingly positive response to our “Help Wanted” ad posted on social media this spring, and we are going into the 2023 season with three new teammates. We are so happy to have Dave, Greg, and Jess join us!
Note: At this time, we are not taking any more applications.
Have you ever imagined yourself working on a tree crew? If not, then why? There are a lot of reasons folks doubt their ability to do tree work, but to work with us you only need three things: curiosity, a valid drivers’ licence, and hunger to try. Come join us and find out what it’s like to be a Woodpecker!
Our 2022 season is officially over. Thank you to all of our dedicated clients who trusted Woodpecker Tree Care Ltd. with their trees this year.
Please note that our 2023 DutchTrig queue is now closed.
Last summer we inoculated over 50 elm trees with DutchTrig, a preventative treatment that prevents the deadly Dutch Elm Disease. Next year, we want to expand the project to ensure more elms are preserved. Our DutchTrig queue is open to all elm owners and elm lovers out there!
This has been our busiest season in our 20 years in business! Thank you to all of our clients for making this year a success, and for your patience during hurricane season. Due to the increased demand for our services, the team is booked until the end of 2022.
Tree care starts from the very beginning. When trees are young, everything from the shape of the nursery pot to the hole it’s planted in is extremely important. The conditions in which a sapling is kept and planted inform how the tree will grow throughout its whole life. Much like raising a child, it is easier to influence a tree’s “behaviour” when it’s young rather than wait until a problem arises decades down the line. That’s why it pays to consult an expert when choosing and planting young trees. It can reduce the chances of future issues, such as tree failure, which can in turn save you from heartbreak and unanticipated expenses.
Kevin was tasked with a scientific and creative project this past year, and the fruits of that labour have been published by the Acadian Entomological Society. Working together with zoologist John Klymko, Kevin collected specimens of the beech leaf-mining weevil for John’s studies. John wanted to determine the habits of the weevil in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, as this invasive pest is spreading quickly and doing quite a bit of damage to our beloved beech tree population.
