Kelli Tuttle and Bluestem Forestry Consulting, Inc. has been a huge asset to the Village of Poynette. She has worked with the Village for 3 years and has inventoried our Village trees and their condition and mapped them on our Village GIS. She has trained our Public Works staff in proper tree trimming and training on Emerald Ash Borer. Our Village has been the recipient of grant monies for Village forestry expenses and she helped champion wonderful interactive Arbor Day celebrations at our elementary school. She is a great partner for the Village of Poynette.

Bluestem has completed two successive street tree inventories for the City of Bayfield, and we are very pleased with its comprehensiveness and usefulness. As volunteer City Forester and a member at large of the state of Wisconsin Urban Forestry Council I can recommend Kelli and Bluestem without reservation.

Kelli,
I would like to thank you again for the great job that Bluestem Forestry Consultants did on the 2011 street and park tree inventory. Along with the tree inventory, the management plan and EAB Readiness Plan have been extreme beneficial in managing the City's urban forests. By knowing the exact number of trees, species, size and location make managing the Urban Forest in the City of Hudson cost effective and a wise use of funds and time. It was a pleasure working with you on this project and appreciate the quality job you provided to the City of Hudson.

Kelli provided the leadership and knowledge to get us started on a long-range plan for the conservation and care of the trees in our village. Her hands-on presentation of the proper way to plant a tree along with management and maintenance practices made us all want to go home and plant a tree.

As a Trustee in charge of urban forestry in the Village of Wind Point, WI, I had occasion to work with Kelli Tuttle of Bluestem and was extremely impressed with her expertise and responsiveness. She and her team created a tree inventory for our public trees which included species, size, and condition information. Also, she established a plan for the Village in preparing for and reacting to the arrival of EAB.
Kelli continues to be a great resource for us as our urban forest evolves and we strive to implement those plans.I look forward to our continued relationship as we work together toward the health and safety of both our trees and our residents.
