“Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it and the tree is the real thing.”

— Abraham Lincoln

 

Dan O’Wril founded Blue Ox Tree Service in 2016 to provide thoughtful tree care that is both aesthetically pleasing and beneficial to the environment. Dan has worked with trees all his life, starting with helping his father care for the woods near his childhood home. His first career was as a structural engineer, so he has a strong understanding of tree structure and safety issues. After working at home as a full-time parent for several years, Dan trained in tree care, combining his interest in structures and passion for the natural world.
