Business Description and Remarks

Metau’s mission is to enable Central Washington Forests to be fire and disease resilient. In other words; healthy and robust. Tree thinning and pruning with chainsaw and other hand tools is how Metau contributes to this goal while taking wildfire risk, tree health, and wildlife into consideration. I consider leaving a healthier more resilient forest, my legacy – Wes Johns (owner).
