ABOUT BRODIE
Independent Expertise.
Practical Guidance.
I’m Brodie Bittner, an ISA Board Certified Master Arborist and second-generation arborist with more than two decades of experience in tree care. My work is focused on helping property owners, managers, and professionals make informed decisions about their trees through independent, science-based consulting.
I hold the ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ), Prescription Pruning Qualification (PPQ), Certified Urban Forest Professional credential, and Colorado Department of Agriculture Qualified Supervisor licenses in Forest Pest Control (106) and Ornamental Pest Control (207).
I’ve been working in arboriculture since 2003, and that experience has taught me that good tree care starts with understanding the whole picture. My approach is to carefully assess the trees, the site, and the goals of the property owner, then provide clear, practical recommendations that support safety, tree health, and responsible long-term management.
