Who We Are
Chippers’ History
Our clients have relied on us for their tree, land and forest care needs for more than 30 years. Founded in 1986 by William A. Russell Jr. in Woodstock, VT, we began as Chippers: Your Land Enhancement Crew.
Jason Eaton joined the company in 1996 as our lead Operations Manager, and in 2002, we merged with Treescapes, a Lebanon, NH tree company, greatly expanding our arboricultural expertise, and its former owner, Cal Felicetti, remains with us as our lead consulting arborist and manager.
In 2005, we acquired the former French’s Tree Service of Meredith, NH, and its former owner Phil French remained with us until his 2008 retirement as a sales consultant and trainer. In 2008 we added Turf and Soil Care to our diversity of services with the hiring of a new manager, Theron Peck, formerly with TruGreen for over 20 years.
After the untimely passing of Will Russell in 2010, his spouse and business partner of the prior decade, Mundy Wilson Piper, became President & CEO. In 2011 we added Garden Maintenance, Installation and Interiorscapes to our services, and 2013 saw the addition of a wholesale maple sugaring operation.
