Bowarring Tree Management

Bowarring Tree Management was started by Jackson Charles, a proud Yorta Yorta local who holds a Diploma of Arboriculture and has spent more than five years in the trade. Working out of Shepparton, the business is built around a "Caring for Country" approach, where the decision to keep or remove a tree is weighed up for community safety and for the health of the land around it. That thinking runs through everything from a routine prune to a full removal.

On the assessment side, the business writes arborist reports for compliance, planning and risk management, the kind schools, councils and developers rely on before making a decision, and provides vegetation management consulting for larger sites. These reports are backed by a qualified arborist rather than a general contractor, which is what a planning authority or a property manager is usually after.

The hands on services cover tree pruning and tree removal to keep trees healthy and safe, stump grinding and removal to clear a site back to usable ground, and tree mulching that recycles green waste into material good for soil health and landscaping. Tree planting and maintenance rounds this out for clients thinking about longer term landscape outcomes rather than a one off job.

Where a tree does have to come down, Jackson can provide habitat logs so hollows and dead wood are left on site for wildlife instead of being chipped, and hazard mitigation work is aimed at reducing risk without stripping out more than a site actually needs. It is an approach that sits comfortably with the conservation side of council and land management work.

The business is based at Shepparton and works across North East Victoria, southern New South Wales and surrounds, taking on council and government contracts, school grounds and civil construction sites alongside private work. Jackson can be reached on 0423 720 773 or at [email protected].
