Biography:
Hi, my name is Matt Basile and I will be acting as the Society of Municipal Arborists Liaison for the State of Nevada. I recently took on my role as the Urban Forester for the City of Reno, Nevada. Prior to my move to Reno, I was the City Arborist for Evanston, Illinois and I'm excited to apply some of the techniques and strategies used in the Midwest to the unique challenges of the arid west. I am interested in progressive urban forestry strategies as well as climbing and arboriculture work itself.
