A Cut Above Forestry Awards Scholarship to Summit County Highschool Student

Breckenridge, Colorado—Monday, April 5, the first annual A Cut Above Forestry High School Scholarship was awarded to local Summit High student, Torrance Lee. The scholarship was established to provide encouragement and financial support to a deserving student pursuing a degree in natural resources or related environmental discipline. Mr. Lee was selected as the recipient based on his future goals as identified through an essay submission and community and school recommendations. Rick and Martha Herwehe presented the scholarship to Mr. Lee at 2010 Scholarship Night, held at Summit High School.

“Torrance is a deserving student and we are so pleased to be able to assist him in his pursuit of a career in the natural resources and environmental disciplines,” said Rick Herwehe, Founder of A Cut Above Forestry. The scholarship was funded by money raised at the Dunk-A-Bug Tank and Beetle-fest and then those funds were matched by A Cut Above Forestry.

Founded in 1983, A Cut Above Forestry initially filled a void in professional tree care in Eagle and Summit Counties and has since become the leading arbor services firm in the central mountains of Colorado. A Cut Above Forestry has been a driving force behind the reforestation efforts and long-range reforestation goals in Summit County. A recent merger with Land Designs by Ellison located in Eagle County increased both the geographic area of service, and portfolio of services. Services offered include arbor services, reforestation, irrigation services, landscape architecture, maintenance and installation.
