The Team at Chickadee
|
Malloree Weinheimer, Founder & Forester
Malloree started Chickadee Forestry to help clients make informed decisions about management to ensure the long term health and resiliency of our local forests. She believes that green space and natural landscapes are a key part of rural communities and wanted the business to reflect this approach by using a triple bottom line business model, which focuses on the environmental, social, and economic aspects of forestry for the good of the community and the environment. Mallorie holds a BSci in Forest Resources from the University of Washington and worked in forest ecology research and land management for 8 years before starting Chickadee Forestry in 2018. She is a candidate certified forester through the Society of American Foresters (SAF) and her expertise is in forest health issues, land conservation policy, sustainable forest management, and ecological restoration. |

Outside of work she and her husband, Willie, bought land in 2020 and are currently building a house and using all the locally harvested wood, of course. You can follow the process and forestry projects on Instagram at @chickadee_forestry.
