Independent Arboricultural Consulting in Western North Carolina
HumaniTree was founded on a simple belief: the person assessing your tree shouldn't profit from cutting it down. We provide "pure" arboricultural consulting, offering objective, data-driven tree assessments with no conflict of interest, because we never sell removals or pruning.
ABOUT US
Meet Dave Stewart, Director of Operations
Dave spent the last 12 years at the intersection of forest management, utility infrastructure, and urban arboriculture. His career has moved from the big picture to the very specific. He started by managing tree populations across massive utility corridors, where safety and reliability were on the line every day. Today he focuses on structural diagnostics, using science and technology to understand the internal health of individual high-value trees.
At HumaniTree, Dave bridges the gap between technical field excellence and business strategy. Our clients get objective, data-driven assessments from a consultant who has nothing to gain from the outcome.
A Foundation in Risk
Our background in urban forestry across more than 10 states and Canada, gave us a high-volume, high-consequence education in how and why trees fail, and in ANSI safety standards.
Advanced Diagnostics
Today our focus is high-stakes risk assessment. We use acoustic tomography and resistance drilling to give clients a look inside the tree, replacing guesswork with defensible data.
Industry Leadership
Beyond the field, we develop the standard operating procedures, pricing structures, and safety protocols that allow HumaniTree to deliver elite consulting services across Western North Carolina
