My tour journey began in 1998 and just about 11,600 miles ago. Back then I thought that we would have the needs of urban trees figured out and my work would be done. Such isn't the case with new pests and a climate that is less conducive to tree growth than it was when I got into this business. I'm riding / fundraising once again to do my small part to enhance the urban and community forests that we all hold so dear.
