Colin Milde, a Master Arborist who has been in the tree business over 30 years, has been a valuable resource in the success of the Restore Native Plants Team. Since the start of his career, Colin has worked his way up through the ranks, eventually beginning to take an interest in the specialty of plant health care (PHC). Colin spent the first 25 years of his prestigious career as a tree climber, and 20 years ago became a N.J. Certified Tree Expert.”
Ten years ago, Colin became the first Board Certified Master Arborist with the International Society of Arboriculture in N.J., a distinction which he still holds today. In 2011, Colin earned the title of one of the first Certified Treecare Safety Professionals. He has also held a seat on the Board of the Society of Certified Tree Experts for the past 5 years.
In the future, Colin aspires to become a Registered Consulting Arborist, a goal which may be realized as early as 2016. Colin’s expertise with native tree species has proven invaluable in the Restore Native Plants Initiative. Working with the Restore Native Plants Team, he has provided step-by-step guidance in proper planting, mulching, and tree care practices especially useful for the long term maintenance and success of our native plant restoration sites. Truly much of the success of the Restore Native Plants Initiative would not have been possible without him!

Dear Dr. Burton,
Thank you for sharing your views on energy and environmental policy.
My Administration is strongly committed to environmental protection, including keeping our air and water clean and being good stewards of our environment. This requires all of us to do our part, and I want to thank you for your commitment to preserving our environment for future generations.
As we continue to protect our environment, we must also ensure that American workers have greater opportunities to provide for their families. That is why my Administration is also committed to protecting American workers and American companies from unnecessary regulatory burdens. Going forward, regulations must balance our stewardship of the environment with the needs of a growing economy.
Thank you again for sharing your views. As President, I am committed to unleashing America’s economic potential, while also protecting the environment. I am confident that together we can preserve America’s natural blessings for future generations.
Sincerely,
