Shelterwood was founded on a straightforward principle

Property owners, developers, and construction professionals deserve arboricultural advice that is clear, evidence-based, and genuinely useful. Too often, trees are an afterthought in the development process. Shelterwood exists to change that.

What We Do
Shelterwood Consulting Arborist provides a focused range of arboricultural consulting services — from development reporting and project arborist roles through to hand-carved hollow nest boxes for native wildlife habitat. Every service is delivered personally by David, ensuring a consistent, high-quality outcome on every engagement.
Our Approach
Every tree assessment, report, and site inspection carried out by Shelterwood is grounded in current industry standards, thorough field assessment, and a practical understanding of what councils, certifiers, and clients actually need. We take the time to understand your project and deliver advice you can act on with confidence.
Planting the Future
For every report completed and every hollow installed, Shelterwood plants a tree. It’s a small but deliberate commitment to the landscapes we work in — ensuring that every engagement with Shelterwood contributes something lasting to the environment.
