The Founder
Sherri Pelayo McEllistrim
- As a San Francisco native, I spent my youth exploring every corner of Golden Gate Park and the Marin Headlands. I’ve called Novato home since 2020. My professional journey began in 2014 as an Apprentice Arborist Technician before I advanced to a Journeyman for the City and County of San Francisco.
- While I earned my ISA Certified Tree Climber credential and loved the adrenaline of slinging chainsaws and pruning trees high in the canopy, I discovered the deeper science of arboriculture is what truly fueled my passion. Through continuous education, I earned my Certified Arborist and Tree Risk Assessment Qualification(TRAQ) with the International Society of Arboriculture.
- Combining 12 years of hands-on, in-the-tree experience with in-depth study and report writing, I offer specialized knowledge in local arboriculture. Nothing excites me more than partnering with my community to provide consultations and problem-solving for your tree care needs. I’ve taken the long journey into tree science so you don't have to.
