Norm Hall is a second-generation arborist. Norm spent his career in the Chicago area working for The Care of Trees and then Davey Tree. Care of Trees company founder John Hendrickson was an industry innovator and pioneer and when John and Norm's father merged, Norm was thrust into a dynamic and progressive arboriculture dynamic in which he flourishedNorm worked with Scott Prophet for many years.  Together they invented the most common lowering device for trees by which all others are measured...The Port-a-Wrap. Norm was spicing rope before splicing was a thing and continues splicing as a hobby and passion to this day. Norm was involved in using cranes for removal starting in the late 80's and this extensive experience played a major role in inventing another arborist now considered a 'basic' tool for rigging known as; The Balancer and Spider Leg Balancer.Norm has been a serial volunteer for the Illinois Chapter of ISA and the ITCC. Norm truly has the heart of a teacher and is considered old growth by those who know him and are connected to his human forest.
