Dennise J. Vidosh is the Founder and CEO of RE-TREE and Green Acres Tree Farm, Inc., and is an ISA-certified arborist. Mature tree preservation sits at the epicenter of her life’s work, inspiring her daily to create meaningful solutions to global environmental challenges through technology, innovation, and hands-on experience in the Green Industry.

Raised working side-by-side with her father, Dennise grew up supplying Michigan and the Greater Midwest with mature specimen trees. Over the past 16 years operating Green Acres Tree Farm, Inc., she began to recognize a critical breakdown in the tree supply chain. Beautiful, mature trees—representing hundreds of years of growth and immense ecological value—were routinely destroyed to make way for development or removed simply because they had outgrown their space.

This waste had become an accepted cost of doing business. Dennise knew there had to be a better way.

In response, she founded RE-TREE in 2018—a digital marketplace and educational platform designed specifically to preserve unique, mature trees that would otherwise be destroyed. Through RE-TREE, commercial and residential property owners can responsibly buy, sell, relocate, or donate trees, transforming removal from an expense into an opportunity for stewardship and value creation.
