Scott McPhee

Enrolled in the Arboriculture and Urban Forestry program at UMass Amherst, Scott's career began as a college freshman, when he joined the Hartney Greymont team. Young and eager, he learned the trade from the men who had trained through the lineage of the great Charles Sprague Sargent.

He had the privilege of working with master craftsmen: those who were born with the eyes of an artist, the spirit of a pioneer and the tenacity of mother nature. These mentors were professional, efficient, and incredibly skilled in the art of pruning and all things of the earth. It was here that he knew he had found his passion and has spent the last few decades working to emulate those great examples. Scott graciously stepped up as the president for New England Grows and Massachusetts Arborists Association and enjoyed every minute of giving back to the community as he served. He's now back to a land of tree walks and company shenanigans, exactly the thing that brings him joy.

But here's some quirky stuff you can bring up if you run out of "tree talk"....

1. He cannot stay awake after eating pasta.

2. You can't get him off the dance floor at a wedding.

3. His childhood nickname was Scooter.
