A dangerous large maple getting a little too close to the neighbour’s house. It’s now the owners choice to let it start growing again or swing it out of the yard with a crane. Dangerous limbs have all been removed so now they have peace of mind. #ecotree_ca #urbanlogging #liveedgelumber #reddeer #centralalberta #alberta #recycle #treeservice #repurpose #salvagedlumber #logstolumber #lifereconnected #treeservicereddeer #treeremovalreddeer #reddeersmallbusiness

Guitar #2 has officially been completed and made an appearance at the Pigeon Lake Music Festival on July 5th, 2025, being played by @brettkissel! It was surreal to have a whole audience of people see it in action and have the honor of Brett Kissel jamming out on this guitar. Want to give the biggest thank you to Dave @gilmore_guitars. Couldn’t have made this happen without his mentorship! Check out his website: https://www.gilmoreguitars.net/ The body and fretboard of the guitar are made out of Russian Olive that came from the Mustard Seed site in Red Deer. The neck is built out of Schubert Chokecherry which was harvested from behind the Boston Pizza in Ponoka and had to come out due to a fire caused by homeless people. The proceeds from this guitar will be used to support the Mustard Seed’s school lunch program. Stay tuned for its journey. We’re so super proud of Jazdn for all that she’s accomplished with the making of this guitar!! She’s all about music, food and people! #ecotree_ca #urbanlogging #liveedgelumber #reddeer #centralalberta #alberta #recycle #treeservice #repurpose #salvagedlumber #logstolumber #lifereconnected #treeservicereddeer #treeremovalreddeer #reddeersmallbusiness

Be sure to head to @rdhomeshow this weekend to check out the Bee Box located in the @centralalbertacoop booth. This was a joint project with @ellisbirdfarm, Eco Tree and @ecotree_generations for a Co-op community space project. It turned out amazing. It will be a show stopper for sure. Be sure to check out the beautiful wood wall made from….of course our local recycled wood!!! #ecotree_ca #urbanlogging #liveedgelumber #reddeer #centralalberta #alberta #recycle #treeservice #repurpose #salvagedlumber #logstolumber #lifereconnected #treeservicereddeer #treeremovalreddeer #reddeersmallbusiness

@ecotree_generations Jazdn and Jennah won 1st place at the AG-Food Innovation pitch competition. Way to go girls! MAG blocks are the future!!!

Removing the trees in a dangerously steep ditch in order to fix the ditch and improve safety for the Condor school traffic. Thanks to TJ Paving for the opportunity to help out. #ecotree_ca #urbanlogging #liveedgelumber #reddeer #centralalberta #alberta #recycle #treeservice #repurpose #salvagedlumber #logstolumber #lifereconnected #treeservicereddeer #treeremovalreddeer #reddeersmallbusiness

@ecotree_generations Ryker donated his brisket from his @rimbey4hclub carcass steer to the @thehideout_rd for farm days. The chef made an order of nachos with it along with a honey bbq sauce from @gulllakehoney. Must come today and tomorrow to give it a try!!!

Jazdn and Jennah with @ecotree_generations never cease to amaze us. With the unconditional support from @gilmore_guitars the guitar is complete. This guitar was made from trees that were removed locally here in Red Deer. Recycled black ash was used for the neck of the guitar, Russian olive for the fret board and laurel leaf willow for the body. It turned out better than anyone could have imagined, and David with Gilmore Guitars has played it and says it’s amazing. The goal with guitar was to have it be built out of 100% locally sourced wood from Central Alberta and they have taken pictures of the exact sites where these trees were taken down (for the black ash and Russian olive). And those trees were only 1km apart from each other! This particular guitar will be auctioned in support of the Clayton Bellamy Foundation (@claytonbellamy) which supports youth by giving them the opportunity to become involved in fine arts. His first official gala is September 1, 2023 in Bonnyville, AB. The girls now have a GoFundMe page to bring the guitar home. They want the opportunity to bid on it to bring it back to Red Deer for the Lindsay Thurber music program. If they win the guitar back or not, all proceeds from the GoFundMe page will go to the Clayton Bellamy Foundation. If you would like to support, please check out the link below. https://www.gofundme.com/f/bring-the-guitar-home PLEASE SHARE!! #ecotree_ca #urbanlogging #liveedgelumber #reddeer #centralalberta #alberta #recycle #treeservice #repurpose #salvagedlumber #logstolumber #lifereconnected #treeservicereddeer #treeremovalreddeer #reddeersmallbusiness #guitar #locallumber # handcrafted

The Pollinator Garden @ellisbirdfarm for the @coopcrs Co-op Community Spaces Grant in partnership with @ecotree_generations is coming along.

The planter boxes were built from local recycled wood and the black inserts from recycled shipping container steel. #ecotree_ca #urbanlogging #liveedgelumber #reddeer #centralalberta #alberta #recycle #treeservice #repurpose #salvagedlumber #logstolumber #lifereconnected #treeservicereddeer #treeremovalreddeer #reddeersmallbusiness

The @ecotree_generations crew were busy bees today! The girls had a chance to see @claytonbellamy live at RDP last night. Then he stopped in today @gilmore_guitars to see their progress on the electric guitar being auctioned off at his upcoming gala. Ryker has been busy planing and painting planter boxes as well as grinding and plasma cutting the metal for the sides from recycled shipping containers. These planter boxes will be going to the @ellisbirdfarm for the @centralalbertacoop Community Spaces Grant. Great job everyone!! #ecotree_ca #urbanlogging #liveedgelumber #reddeer #centralalberta #alberta #recycle #treeservice #repurpose #salvagedlumber #logstolumber #lifereconnected #treeservicereddeer #treeremovalreddeer #reddeersmallbusiness

Another step in the Sustainable Forest Management Plan for @reddeercounty The poplar trees from the Springbrook Community garden site that had to come down are starting to take shape into 2 beautiful poplar picnic tables to be brought back into the community. #ecotree_ca #urbanlogging #liveedgelumber #reddeer #centralalberta #alberta #recycle #treeservice #repurpose #salvagedlumber #logstolumber #lifereconnected #treeservicereddeer #treeremovalreddeer #reddeersmallbusiness

Eco Tree and @ecotree_generations have a dream to help create a world of food security in a sustainable way. Eco Tree Generations Jazdn, Jennah and Ryker finally took a bite of this dream last fall with their 1st modular agriculture steer barn built from a 20’ shipping container. The barn was home for Ryker’s 1st 4H beef carcass and market steer projects. The team is excited to announce their next modular agriculture project and partnership with Ellis bird farm and Co-op Community Spaces. This project is a 20’ shipping container chicken coop and a 20’ container honey processing classroom located at the Ellis bird farm. This project was Jazdn and Ryker’s 4H Entrepreneur project with their partner Jennah. Thank you @centralalbertacoop , Co-op Community Spaces and the @ellisbirdfarm to allow us to bring our dreams to reality and continue growing our relationship with amazing community partners!

The start of taking down a diseased poplar windrow for @reddeercounty Making the area safe and salvaging/recycling the trees. Stay tuned for the progress and clean up. #ecotree_ca #urbanlogging #liveedgelumber #reddeer #centralalberta #alberta #recycle #treeservice #repurpose #salvagedlumber #logstolumber #lifereconnected #treeservicereddeer #treeremovalreddeer #reddeersmallbusiness

Always exciting to have David Gilmore @gilmore_guitars stop by the shop to find the next guitar experience. This project will involve our biggest laurel leaf willow to date. This gigantic tree was 68” across the butt. Also the first tree job for Jaz and Jennah @ecotree_generations Jaz and Jennah’s passion for music and continuous support for youth they’ve chosen this project to raise money for Big Hearts for Big Kids and the Sunrise House as they’re huge fans of Tenille Townes! Be sure to keep posted for upcoming details. #ecotree_ca #urbanlogging #liveedgelumber #reddeer #centralalberta #alberta #recycle #treeservice #repurpose #salvagedlumber #logstolumber #lifereconnected #treeservicereddeer #treeremovalreddeer #reddeersmallbusiness

Huge Thank-You to @reddeercounty for the opportunity to salvage 11 large poplar trees that had to come down. Can’t even tell they were there once fallen, salvaged, branches chipped and mulcher for clean up. Trees cut yielded 38 logs and 56,000 pounds or 25.4 tons of wood to be dried, milled and recycled. A perfect showcase for sustainable forest management with Red Deer County. #ecotree_ca #urbanlogging #liveedgelumber #reddeer #centralalberta #alberta #recycle #treeservice #repurpose #salvagedlumber #logstolumber #lifereconnected #treeservicereddeer #treeremovalreddeer #reddeersmallbusiness
