Trees rely on healthy soil for nutrient transfer water absorption and aeration.  A degraded soil system can be the death toll for any tree species.  One way Preservation Tree revitalizes soil is by Vertical Mulching.  A two inch hole is bored 12 inches into the ground and backfilled with organic material that includes worm castings, compost, kelp and various types of meal.  This not only gets vital organic material to the rhizosphere but also aids in aeration.

Bryan decided early in life that he wanted to have a career working to preserve the environment. He attained a degree in Environmental Science at Albright College and soon after began a career as an environmental educator at the Great Valley Nature Center in Devault, PA. As GVNC's Adventure Program Coordinator, Bryan led kayaking, canoeing, hiking, camping, bird watching, and rock climbing trips for children and adults. After 9 years at GVNC, Bryan and his wife moved to rural Haiti to work with a reforestation and environmental education initiative. After two years in Haiti, Bryan followed his love of trees to The Morris Arboretum, where he became a certified arborist and a certified Tree Risk Assessor. When not climbing trees Bryan can be found mountain biking, working in his garden, or traveling.

In an ongoing effort to promote habitat even in the urban environment Preservation Tree plants native species even in the most unlikely of places.  Despite the totality of mans existence in the urban setting it is still important to plant native to promote the areas existing bio-diversity.  The Cercis Canadenis( Eastern Red Bud) not only offers vibrant spring color but also promotes many species of native Lepitdoptera(butterflies).
