How can we connect real arborist life to the story behind the pink-camo sun hoodie release?

In order to support the launch the limited-release “High-Vis Pink Camo” Sun Hooie in collaboration with Colorado-based Maloney Tree Care, we focused on telling the story of life as an arborist, and the best way to do that was from the trees.
