Restoring Willamette Valley’s native plants and trees. This is one of Ezra Childress’s biggest passions. Ezra is a long-time advocate for native restoration, and is excited to take jobs where he can make a difference, especially with oak savannahs.

Oak Savannahs

Oak savannah restoration involves:

• removing firs and invasive species from the oak savannah,
• carefully thinning the oak canopies to allow light to reach the lower levels, and
• deadwooding the oaks.

These actions help the oaks reach their full, mighty height.

“As the Lead Groundskeeper at Linn-Benton Community College, I have relied on Ezra for many years to help me take care of the trees on all of the college campuses.

Ezra is a dedicated arborist, with a genuine concern for the overall health and longevity of every tree that he works on. He is also a very fair, honest, and down-to-earth person who is always a pleasure to work with. For consistent, quality tree work, I cannot recommend Childress Tree enough.”

Ezra has been tending the oak savannahs of Linn-Benton Community College’s campuses for many years. Whether on another Willamette Valley college campus, expansive commercial property, or smaller residential woodland, he’d love to help you with yours as well.
