Chris Beiser

Chris is a Chicago transplant living in Basalt. An arborist by profession, he has worked for botanic institutions, including the Chicago Botanic Garden, and has dabbled in private tree management and teaching. Currently, he manages the gardens, trees, and parks for the Town of Basalt. Beyond the obligatory houseplant obsession, he has a strong passion for beer and board games, going so far as to convert a spare bedroom (gasp!) into a dedicated game room. At RFL, Chris is looking to expand his leadership skills so he can be a guiding force in big decisions.
