Founder

Scott Ellis Meyer

Scott grew up working in the greenhouses and offices of The Famous and Historic Tree Company alongside his father, Jeffrey Meyer — an early education in the science, history, and stewardship of trees that has shaped everything he's built since. That foundation, paired with a background in ecology and coastal zone management, shapes how he connects clients to their landscapes.
