Paul is the Sr. Operational Forester and Principal Consultant of Trees Unlimited. His humble beginning began as a Forestry graduate from the Forest Resource Management Program at the University of New Brunswick in 1988, followed by field positions with the OMNR, Niagara and the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority.

In 1990, Paul began Trees Unlimited and moved to the private sector. He was frustrated with the inflexibility and lack of direct landowner contact and contribution in the management of their own properties.

Paul is chairman of Land Care - Niagara, (the local stewardship program), founding member of the Niagara Woodlot Association, is a provincially certified tree marker approver (Advanced), a managed forest plan approver, is the Woodlot Expo Manager for the Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show in Woodstock, provided the technical review for the Careful Harvesting Section of the new Silvicultural Guide to the Managing of Southern Ontario Forests and has chaired and sits on a number of forest management related committees. He has presented at numerous conservation and forestry conferences and workshops, including the Federation of Ontario’s Southern Ontario Woodlands: The Conservation Challenge Conference in August 1999.

Paul, his wife Denice and their two sons Reid and Blair, recently became farmers when they bought a century farm with a woodlot in Niagara Falls. Paul and Denice are exploring and experimenting with the forest and agricultural opportunities provided by a rural property. The property was recently named Salisbury Farms.
