Matt McCoy

Matt joined us in 2022 as our newest Arborist and Plant Health Care (PHC) Team Lead, with over 20 years of experience in the industry. He is a MA Certified Arborist, MCLP (Massachusetts Certified Landscape Professional), and a member of NALP. He's a true outdoorsman, as his spare time is usually spent with family: hiking, fishing or running......although it isn't unusual to find him enjoying a good movie or video game with his kids!

As Team Lead for our PHC department, Matt focuses on the foundation of tree health — the soil health and prevention of disease and insect infestation. He ensures that we are providing the best environment in which an urban forest may thrive. His next goal is to successfully build the best PHC operation in the world, and we're here to support that!

Matt believes one of the best things about being an arborist is working outside. The fresh air, constantly changing scenery, physical and mental stimulation are things that bring great satisfaction to your day — along with doing something good for our planet. His advice to current students who are thinking about their future careers is to take time between high school and college to try different fields.
