I’m Zach Landis, the owner of Backcountry Improvements, based right here in Orange, Vermont. My background is in land and forest management—I earned a B.S. in Terrestrial Ecology and Forestry Management from the University of Vermont’s School of Natural Resources in 1998. After graduating, I purchased 64 acres of forested land in Orange, where my wife and I built an off-grid home.

Over the years, I’ve actively managed my land, implementing a forest management plan that includes selective harvesting, road maintenance, and sustainable land use. I’ve also worked as an arborist. Over the years in central Vermont I’ve witnessed an uptick in weather events causing damage to property. I recognized a growing need for reliable, small-scale excavation services to help homeowners maintain and improve their properties.
