About
Terry started logging and building log homes in 1992. He owned and operated a landscaping business in Sydney, Australia until 2008. He worked as a climbing arborist on the North Shore before becoming a City Arborist with the City of Surrey's Planning and Development Department in 2010. Terry has been owner/operator of Woodridge Tree since 2014. Terry's favourite tree is the Hemlock tree behind his elementary school in Revelstoke, BC. It was the first tree he climbed really high, one branch at a time. His favourite thing about working with trees is that he is always learning something about them and his favourite thing to do on the job is to climb a tree.
