Native Trees Grown to Give Away – “Project Pando”, Basil Camu, Founder

Basil Camu is the co-owner of a local tree care company called Leaf & Limb located in Raleigh, North Carolina.  Basil is also the founder of a nonprofit volunteer-driven tree nursery that grows native trees sustainably to give away to the public at no cost.  The project is seeking to support restoration projects both in urban, suburban, and wild areas.

Basil loves all of the aspects of natural ecosystems from the trees, to soil, wildflowers, insects, bats, and fungi. He is a Treecologist, ISA Board Certified Master Arborist, a Duke graduate, and is committed to taking action that helps care for and restore the planet. Though trees are his passion and profession, he also loves cultivating flowers in his garden, restoring native meadows, and propagating plants from seed.
