First Choice Tree Service spreads its passion for tree research in the Pacific Northwest

Tony Valenti, Michael Corrente & Lisa Ortega

At First Choice Tree Service in Las Vegas, tree research and education is our passion.  While we are out there everyday doing what we do best - caring for, and maintaining the trees of Las Vegas, Henderson and Clark County, not to mention all the residences that cover Southern Nevada -  we look for opportunities to spread the word.  Last week, we sponsored cyclist, Michael Corrente, in the Stihl Tour des Trees bike ride through the Pacific Northwest to benefit the TREE fund.

Educating kids about caring for urban trees and forests.

He, along with other riders from the country, joined together to ride over 565 miles and raised money for tree research and education.  They started from Portland, OR, and traced a counter-clockwise loop that included the Oregon coastline, vineyards, high desert and Columbia River Gorge, with Douglas firs and Mt. Hoot provided the backdrop for the visually spectacular week.

"What's amazing is that Michael is the only rider from Nevada to have participated in this ride, and we're proud to have helped him on his mission," says Tony Valenti, president of First Choice Tree Service."  Watch the video below to find out more!

Congratulations to Michael on a successful ride!
