About Treecology, Inc.
Damon and Andrea Schrosk founded in Treecology 2001 as the nexus of two loves (trees and natural areas) and the realization that it really is all about trees. Based in the Cascade Foothills of Clackamas County, we serve the southern and eastern portions of the Portland Metro Area and the urban/rural interface beyond. Treecology has memberships in the International Association of Arboriculture, Tree Care Industry Association, Hoyt Arboretum, Arbor Day Foundation and Portland Japanese Garden Society.
Damon Schrosk
ISA Certified Arborist PN5474A
Damon graduated from the University of California in San Diego in 1994 with a degree in Ecology, Behavior and Evolution and a minor in Photography. After a career in wildlife and habitat biology that took him from the desert southwest to the North Slope of Alaska, he became a wetland delineator and worked as a consultant, delineating, designing mitigation projects and monitoring projects. The monitoring of the projects identified a need in the installation and maintenance of them, one that came from years of education and experience in working in and with natural plant communities. This was combined with a resurgence in the desire of caring for trees that stemmed back from his youth working with his dad on bonsai and walks through the woods with his grandfather.
Morgan Mitchell
ISA Certified Arborist PN-6367A
Morgan has been an outdoorsman his entire life. He has attended the Western Culinary Institute and worked at a Lake Oswego retail nursery for three years where he developed a passion for plants. But it took a Clackamas Community College tree-climbing course to show him his true calling. Morgan plans a long and fruitful career in tree care. Climbing 120 feet up a Douglas fir on a breezy day fosters his spiritual respect for nature. If only he could order room service up there… Morgan spends his free time dabbling in bonsai and music, hiking, snowboarding, and cooking among other things. He’s always looking for a bigger tree to climb.
Clay Taylor
ISA Certified Arborist PN-6366A
Clay’s interest in plants started at an early age when he was introduced to bonsai, a hobby he still enjoys. He worked in the nursery industry for five years where he became a Certified Nursery professional and became skilled at nursing ill-treated plants back to health. He has attended Clackamas Community College to study horticulture and tree-climbing. Clay takes pride in his work as a Certified Arborist and his priorities are quality, safety, and plant health. He says there is nothing like being 130 feet up in a tree with the wind blowing through your helmet. Clay feeds his kinship with nature through his love of hiking, camping and fishing.
