  • 59 - Dylan Daisuke Loy Saito - City of Portland, Oregon
    Feb 15 2025

    Dylan Daisuke Loy Saito is from Portland, OR & Vancouver, WA and is a PNW-ISA Member (former Editor-in-chief), ISA Certified Arborist & TRAQ qualified, an ODA Public Pesticide Applicator , FEMA Incident Commander, ODOT Traffic Controller, and holds the Adult Mental Health Aid Certification.

    Dylan was born and raised on a volcano in the Pacific Ocean. It taught him to connect with the planet and forced symbiosis with nature. It was this life experience where he learned the gift of ALOHA, and still shares and practices this everyday. After migrating to Oregon in 96', it became obvious he landed on a much bigger island than he grew up on, with more forests, wildlife, and people. It was here Dylan found his calling to share his love of nature with everyone through Arboriculture.

    He worked with a local tree company as a "branch manager", and literally learned the ropes of aerial access in trees. 10 years went by, worked with several premium tree care providers, career volunteer with multiple green industry nonprofits, and became a municipal Arborist with the City of Portland. It was in this role he utilized all his career experiences to reach an entire city of tree-centric communities!

    Dylan spent years volunteering with the PNW-ISA regional chapter as a judge for the regional climbing competitions, as the Editor of the Chapter publication, speaker and presenter at multiple Annual conferences, and co-founder of the PNW Tree Failure Database with Chris Rippey and Jonathan Pywell.

    Dylan has now been in the industry for over 20 years, and still sharing the ALOHA he was gifted long ago. He enjoys spending time with his son Ronin and daughter Hana, and teaching them the same connection with our planet.
