Joe Snipes, Owner
I was born and raised in Crescent City. Growing up in the woods has helped me develop a desire to focus my work in the forest. My passions are being outdoors and spending time with my family. I have many years in rural forestry restoration, permaculture, and wildland fire experience. I love the North Coast and plan on calling it my home for many years to come.
