Over the last... 43 years, David has been responsible for almost every aspect of the tree transplanting business at one time or another. Environmental Design’s large tree transplanting projects include many large Estates, Zoos, Universities, Golf Courses, Municipalities, and Casinos. Environmental Design has transplanted thousands of large and giant trees, including many in the 30″ to 100″ diameter range. These massive trees have weighed up to ONE MILLION, SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND pounds, and have an impressive 99% survival rate. David was involved in researching and developing a new patented tree lifting and moving system called ArborLift ®, which utilizes giant pneumatic bladders to lift and roll the trees safely and efficiently.

However, it has also intensified the challenge of managing increased volumes of wood debris, prompting companies like Mayer Tree Service to invest in specialized equipment and infrastructure for processing and recycling. Despite the logistical complexities, these advancements enhance efficiency and safety in tree care operations, highlighting the dual challenges and opportunities presented by modern equipment in the industry.

TCIA's Peter Gerstenberger, Senior Vice President, Industry Support will be testifying in ...front of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce’s Subcommittee on Workforce Protections as a juxtaposition to the aforementioned issues on the tree care standard. Specific interest in hearing why tree care is so dangerous, OSHAs enforcement approach and conflicting regs that make it difficult for the industry to operate without their own standard.

This will be Peter's 3rd time testifying before this committee on roughly the same topic.

Link in bio watch! It will be live streamed and then available after for review if you missed it!
