Tillis Tree Care

Hello fellow humans!  I’m Dustin and I’m an arboriculturist and founder of PDX Forest Bathing.  I began my love affair with trees over 20 years ago in Nevada, of all places, where I worked my way up from groundsman to scaling and maintaining the largest palms at some of the most prestigious properties on the Las Vegas strip. During a trip to Portland in the early 2000’s, I was instantly captivated by the region’s vast canopy and knew the area would become my home. Over the past several decades the Pacific Northwest became my new playground and offered a wide range of opportunities to explore, learn, and practice my craft.

As an arborist and owner of Tillis Tree Service, I get to climb and live among trees every day. I became intimately familiar with tree behavior and the undeniable influence trees have on human health and well being. So it was a natural progression to start sharing my passion and observations with people.  I’ve now led over 200 forest bathing sessions that help people reconnect with themselves and our shared home through a multi-sensory experience that includes yoga, breathwork, aromatherapy, science, and more. Currently, I offer group sessions in the Portland Metro Area for the general public and corporate retreats.
