Honoring Veterans Through Service: Tall Timbers' Participation in the Saluting Branches Event

At Tall Timbers Tree & Shrub Service, we take pride not only in our dedication to providing expert tree care but also in giving back to our community. Last week, we had the incredible honor of participating in the Saluting Branches event, a nationwide initiative that brings together tree care professionals nationwide to care for the trees on veterans' cemeteries and memorial sites. This was the third year that the event was held in Colorado Springs at the Evergreen Cemetery. With over 100 participants we saw another year of great success.

Giving Back to Those Who Gave So Much

Our team of arborists were excited to roll up their sleeves and dedicate their time and skills to such a worthy cause. We sent our crews in full force to perform essential tree care tasks, including pruning, tree removals, trunk injections, and deep root watering. These efforts were focused on enhancing the health and beauty of the cemetery grounds where veterans are laid to rest.

The Work We Did:

  • Pruning: To ensure the health and longevity of the trees while also maintaining a clean, safe environment for visitors.

  • Removals: Safely removing dead or hazardous trees that could pose a threat to the well-being of the cemetery grounds.

  • Trunk Injections: Utilizing professional-grade treatments to protect the trees from pests and diseases.

  • Deep Root Watering: Ensuring the long-term health of the trees through deep watering techniques, particularly in dry conditions.

Honoring Our Veterans

It was a privilege for us to contribute to the care of these hallowed grounds. Our team recognizes the sacrifices made by veterans, and we’re proud to offer our services in a way that helps preserve these spaces of remembrance. By caring for the trees that stand as symbols of strength and longevity, we hope to honor their legacy.

 

Gratitude to All Who Serve

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all veterans for their service, as well as those who continue to serve our country. It was truly an honor to work alongside other professionals in our industry who share the same commitment to giving back.

At Tall Timbers, we believe that the strength of a community lies in its dedication to honoring those who came before us. We look forward to participating in more events like Saluting Branches and continuing to support veterans and our community in any way we can.

Thank you to everyone who supports our veterans. Together, we can make a difference.
