Meet the Team:

Nolan Foley Owner and Operator Cowichan Valley

Nolan Foley

Owner/Climber

Nolan has loved climbing trees since he was a young boy. It's no surprise then, that when he was offered a job in tree industry over 8 years ago, he took it on the spot. 

Nolan has picked up many different skills sets in the Arboriculture world since then, fine-tuning his skills in hedge trimming, pruning, removals, climbing, assessments and consultations, customer relations and more. 

He counts his blessings every day that he ended up climbing some of the world's most majestic trees in one of Canada's most beautiful places.

Nolan believes that change starts from the ground up. Meaning, if we want to make the world a better place, we need to start with ourselves and bring that energy into every deed and interaction we have throughout the day, no matter how small.

Admin/Marketing

We are a family-run business and it's been a joy to be able to bring my skills to help promote TreeBeard. I bring many years of graphic design experience and creative thinking. I look forward to continuing to collaborate with the team and helping to spread the word about Tree Beard's quality services, friendly nature and their own unique brand and style. 

Peter Flaaten Professional Arborist Cowichan Valley

Peter Flaatten

Climber/Groundsman

I currently work part-time with Tree Beard and have been enjoying being part of this awesome team. I bring many skills from running my own landscaping and tree pruning company for ten years. I now live here in North Saanich with my dog Ringo. With my past career as a paramedic and powerline worker, I'm familiar with working under pressure and in high-risk situations. In contrast, I'm experienced in fine pruning and trimming fruit trees, hedges ect. I look forward to helping you out with the next job!

Dallas Wild

Climber (Apprentice)/Groundsman

I'm working part-time with Tree Beard Arbor Care while I continue to work as a carpenter and framer. You can always find a smile on my face when I'm outside working. I've always had a passion for woodworking and carving. My life is a combination of tree work, carpentry, carving/woodworking and bushcraft. I am grateful to learn more about arborist work and grow my skills in climbing. I'm excited to continue my journey with Tree Beard and to be part of a solid team of friendly people offering quality services to all clients!
