Today is National Arborist Appreciation Day!

Today we celebrate the dedicated professionals who help keep our community's trees healthy, safe, and thriving.

As we recognize Arborist Day, we also want to introduce a couple of changes to our Parks, Recreation & Forestry team!

Many of you know Matt Hess, who has served as our Forestry Specialist and has done an outstanding job caring for Baraboo's urban forest. Matt has recently transitioned into his new role as Parks Foreman, where he will continue helping maintain and improve our parks and public spaces.

We are also excited to welcome Andrew Heck to the team as our new Forestry Specialist! Andrew will be involved with tree planting, tree care, and helping preserve the beauty and health of Baraboo's community forest for years to come.

Thank you to all arborists and forestry professionals for the important work they do every day to keep our communities green.
