Arborists' Biography

Chris Anderson grew up on a rural property in the northern rivers region, where he first developed his knowledge and appreciation for trees. He has been involved in many tree planting and forest regeneration projects in the area from a young age.

Chris started his career in tree work through portable timber milling. Part of a team, he milled waste logs left after forestry logging as well as doing private timber milling jobs in The Channon area. Chris now has 12 years experience in milling and owns his own portable timber mill. The portable timber mill can easily be set up for a few small logs or for larger milling jobs.

In 2002 Chris completed his Certificate 3 in Arboriculture at Wollongbar TAFE becoming a fully qualified Arborist / Tree Lopper. During the course Chris began tree lopping working in the Northern Rivers area, felling, climbing and pruning trees. Word of mouth soon found him fully self-employed, and from then on Chris' business has grown from strength to strength. His reputation and skills have now established him as one of the Northern Rivers top tree climbing arborists, often climbing for other northcoast arborists such as Northern Tree Care, Steve Cubis, Lismore City Council and various other Northern Rivers Arborists

Chris offers an incredible range of services, from small tree pruning or palm removal jobs to large scale Camphor Laurel clearing, maintaining the health of established trees, deadwood removal and taking down large trees in confined spaces. Chris' study and years of experience ensures accurate assessment and action can be taken regarding sick, unhealthy or potentially hazardous trees.

Chris' comercial clients include Southern Cross University, Bangalow Real-Estate, and he has become Lismore City Council's primary tree climber.

Swing Tree Service now offer professional arboricultural and tree lopping services in Byron Bay, Lismore, Bangalow, Nimbin, The Channon and any where in-between.
