Michael Richardson, the heart, hands and soul of Skywalker Tree Care, has been working as an arborist for more than 30 years. He arrived in North Idaho in 1983 and has called this area home ever since. Michael recently earned the very highest professional certification offered by the International Society of Arboriculture by completing the Board Certified Master Arborist examination. Fewer than 500 individuals have accomplished this world wide. Also, he has a Bachelor of Science degree in Forestry. Michael has made it his life’s work to understand trees from root to topmost twig, from seedling to full maturity. His techniques have evolved through long experience. By observing the long term effects of earlier tree work all over both counties, he has gained uncommon skill and wisdom in the field of tree care. His business, formerly Richardson Tree Care, is now operating as Skywalker Tree Care.
