| John is a man that can't say 'no'. That's why when his kids asked him to get a mohawk in solidarity of their pain and suffering that school would soon begin, he said 'yes'. When several landowner associations requested that John don the Woodsy Owl costume at their spring bazaar, he said 'yes'. Maybe it's his training and long-time career with the Texas Forest Service, but somehow he never has learned to put off to tomorrow what can be done today. We'll continue to work on him, but you better catch up with him soon while he says nothing but 'yes'. John received his B.S. degree in Forestry from Southern Illinois University and is a graduate of the National Urban Forestry Institute. He joined Burditt in 2003 following 13 years heading the Texas Forest Service offices in Conroe. During that time, John worked extensively in the urban forest arena with landowners, developers and public service departments. He is recognized as a strong natural resource advocate and a highly regarded public speaker on ways to optimize natural resources as they contribute to the overall economic and site value of the community. Among the many awards he has garnered in his career, perhaps the most prestigious is the President’s Award for Outstanding Field Forester awarded by the Society of American Foresters.
John is a Certified Forester (SAF) and a Certified Arborist (ISA).
