First and foremost, Tree World is a family-first company. We take care of our people and make sure they know we have their backs when it comes to dealing with life’s curveballs. We’ve always been committed to providing our customers earth-friendly, plant protection products, thereby helping preserve the planet for future generations.

Claude Boisvert, our president, got Tree World started in 1988, providing corporate clients with tree seedlings used in sales and marketing promotions. While at a Swedish forestry trade show in 1991, he obtained the marketing rights for a Swedish animal repellent: Plantskydd (pronounced “plant-skid” and means “plant protection”), which is now made by our production partners in the USA and sold throughout the US and Canada to protect: gardens, crops, nurseries, woodlots, tree plantations and riparian areas.

Today, Tree World is focused exclusively on providing safe and effective plant protection solutions.
