Briana Frank
OWNER – TREE HEALTH MANAGEMENT, LLC
Briana is that rare individual who’s knowledge is equal to her passion. It’s likely she is up before you and, after she tucks her two beautiful daughters into bed, odds are she’ll be up late working hard to keep our city’s plant life thriving. While others may feel burdened by this type of devotion, Briana needs only to look out her window or down any street where Tree Health Management has been involved in shaping the natural world to be reminded that the challenges, trials and sleepless nights are far outweighed by the benefits for this generation, her children’s generation and beyond. Briana never turns away from an opportunity to help our communities natural spaces thrive and flourish.

Nathan Marti
GENERAL MANAGER
Nathan loves the outdoors, loves working directly with people and is always the first person to step up when anything needs doing whether it is addressing a client’s concerns, fixing a flat tire, digging a planting hole through 12″ of solid rock with a pick axe (because that’s the only spot where the tree can be planted) or even denying his deep love of the outdoors to sit at a computer all day long. Plus, look at that face! He has a knack for customer service that can’t be learned in a seminar or from a book and comes only from a real and genuine love for people and a sincere desire to help them work towards a healthy and sustainable backyard ecosystem.
ADDITIONAL PURSUITS/INTERESTS:
His daughters are his most captivating interest, but he also enjoys fishing, camping, travel, and growing food in his backyard!

Anna Wilkie
Plant Health Care Technician
Please, call her Wilkie. Please, challenge her. Give her a problem, and she will very much enjoy solving it for you. Wilkie came to us all the way from Amherst, Ma. She arrived in Madison excited to work with the THM team, and with an impressive background in Arboriculture to offer Madison’s urban forest the best care possible. She’s organized, detail oriented and truly has a passion for the industry. She is thinking about you and your trees before the sun rises, in fact, she would be ready to prune trees with a headlamp before the rooster crows, but OSHA will simply not allow it.
ADDITIONAL PURSUITS/INTERESTS:
Exploring unknown territory, meeting new people, both decent and terrible cinema

Bradley Selz
RESTORATION ECOLOGIST/INVENTORY SPECIALIST
Bradley has a clear passion for Restoration Ecology, and loves nothing more than to seek remnant Oak Savanna to whip back into shape. When he is not out battling invasive plant take-overs, you may find him in a local woodlot, assessing and locating trees for a future planning project.

OFFICE MANAGER
Mary keeps our office, and all of us, running at our best. While she loves fielding Tree Health calls, her hidden pleasure lies somewhere buried in an excel spreadsheet, or in typesetting a new form to keep order.
