PERSEVERANCE
Reid Gibson has been inventorying trees, recording their conditions, and
recommending treatment for more than a decade. Recently, he surveyed
his one millionth tree, while working on an inventory project for the city of
Chesterfi eld, Missouri.
Gibson's milestone number is composed of trees from across the country.
"It's probably easier to name the states that I haven't worked in than to name
all the places I have," Gibson said. "I like that I've gotten to see a lot of the
country along the way."
Congrats, Reid!
