About our company...Jim & Annie Barborinas, owners of Urban Forestry Services, Inc. and Urban Forest Nursery, Inc.

Jim and Annie Barborinas moved from the Midwest to Washington State on January 1, 1988.  After a couple of years working for another local forestry consulting business, they started their own arboricultural consulting company, based in Mount Vernon.  A few years later, Jim wanted to explore his other passion of actually growing the trees he was so enthusiastic about, so they rented a small field down the road and began planting.  They eventually were able to purchase 32 acres of beautiful land in the Skagit Valley, and as they say...the rest is history...
