Scott Clifton

Owner, General Manager, Arborist

Scott began his professional Arborist career in Phoenix, AZ trimming trees and palms at various properties such as The Ritz Carlton, The Princess Resort, The Biltmore Hotel, and various Del Web properties. He then went to work for Arizona’s largest power company, providing power line clearance in the Prescott and surrounding areas, where he honed his skills for working in extremely hazardous and difficult situations. He continued his education and became an I.S.A. Certified Arborist and an ANSI z133.1 Safety Standards board member to help regulate and govern rules and regulations in the tree care industry. He has mastered the art of managing tree care accounts at large, complex projects as well as many high-profile properties in the Portland, Oregon area such as the Nike Headquarters, Intel, and Coca Cola for the past five years with a national landscape and tree care company. Scott’s experience, leadership qualities, and commitment to education and training support his past success and provides a solid foundation for TreeWise, LLC.
