Every quarter, ClearTree gives back to the community with a charity project. This time, we were honored to complete a Charity Job for Eglon Community Church in Kingston WA. Our goal was simple: help the church and its neighbors by removing hazardous trees and improving the overall safety and appearance of the property.
What We Did
First, our team removed four poplar trees located on the corner of the church property along the neighbor’s side. We cut each tree down to a low stump to stop regrowth and prevent future issues.
Next, we focused on the large Douglas fir in the middle of the field by the boys’ home. Our arborists carefully pruned the tree, removing the bottom 10–20% of the lower limbs. This pruning helped open up the view, provided more clearance, and guided the tree’s growth in a healthier direction.
How We Did It
To get the job done efficiently, we used a strong mix of equipment and skilled crew members:
- Team Members: GM, CL1, GM
- Vehicles & Equipment:
- Chip Truck + Wood Chipper
- Flatbed Truck + Dino and Trailer
The poplar removal included chipping branches, hauling away wood, and raking up small debris so the area looked neat when we were finished. For the Douglas fir pruning, we left the debris where it landed as requested by the church, saving time and resources while still completing the work safely.

Why It Mattered
This Charity Job for Eglon Community Church in Kingston WA made an immediate difference. Removing the poplars improved safety along the property edge, while pruning the Douglas fir created a clearer, more open space in the field. These changes not only improved the view but also gave the church more usable and safer grounds for the community.
Our Commitment
At ClearTree, we believe in supporting our neighbors, not just through professional tree care but also by giving back whenever we can. This quarterly charity project reflects that commitment. By donating our time, equipment, and expertise, we were able to serve the Eglon Community Church and strengthen the Kingston community as a whole.
