Point of View: 2025 Year in Review at Leaf & Limb
Looking back at the last year through candid photos captured by our crew.
It was a busy and exciting year at Leaf & Limb! Here's a look back at some of our favorite moments behind the scenes.
Shop Tour
Care starts with tools, people, and shared purpose.
High Up Pruning
Good care means knowing when and how to intervene.
Snow Day
From above, you can see what’s holding everything together—trees, neighborhoods, and quiet resilience.
Sharing the Message
Conversations about trees have a way of taking root far beyond where they’re planted.
Helping Wildlife
Not every act of stewardship is planned. Sometimes it’s stopping traffic and making sure someone small makes it safely home.
Prairie in Progress
A sign of progress isn’t always neat or finished. Sometimes it’s a meadow still finding its shape, already doing the work it was meant to do.
Bedazzled Helmet
Safety gear doesn’t have to be joyless. A little sparkle goes a long way when you’re doing serious work with heart.
Pink Anole
Even fleeting moments add to the richness of a place.
Project Pando Talk
Knowledge grows best when it’s shared. These moments—questions, soil under fingernails, stories exchanged—are where restoration really begins.
Lunch Break
Care includes rest. Even in work boots and mismatched socks, there’s room for laughter, warmth, and a pause in the middle of the day.
Good Company
Workdays are better with companions who remind us to look up, breathe, and pay attention to what’s right in front of us.
Big Dog Energy
Every job has its supervisors.
Learning Together
Growth happens when curiosity is met with experience and care.
Up in the Canopy
Care happens at every level. From the ground to the canopy, trust, skill, and joy make the work possible.
Seed Collecting
Going above and beyond. We collaborated with Duke SAF students to collect seeds from Project Pando. Their creative teamwork was impressive.
Planting Together
Community care looks like many hands doing small, meaningful things.
Project Pando Pups
Restoration days are better with four-legged helpers.
Hay Bale Spider
Sometimes nature surprises you with a sense of humor.
Fall from Above
Change is easier to see with a little perspective.
Fall Details
Seasonal change is written in the smallest things, if you stop to notice.
Climbing Competition
Skill, preparation, and joy all on display.
Heart in the Branches
Sometimes the forest leaves you a note.
Happy Climbing
Joy and focus aren’t opposites—they’re partners.
Forest Floor
There’s always more happening just below the surface.
Delicate Mushroom
Life doesn’t always announce itself loudly. Some of the most important things appear quietly, briefly, and exactly when conditions are right.
Snake Encounter
Respecting wildlife means giving space and staying curious.
OGs
Experience carries the work forward.
Happy Faces
This work is built on people.
