About Us

Eastside Forestry is owned and operated by Patrick Broderick. Patrick is an avid outdoorsman and has spent much of his life in the woods. Patrick grew up hunting on and helping manage over 300 acres of private forestland in upstate New York. 

While attending college at Montana State University in Bozeman, Patrick spent his summers working seasonally as a forester and botanist throughout the East Cascades of Oregon and Northern California. After earning his Bachelor's of Science in Conservation Biology and Ecology in 2022, Patrick accepted a job with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) as lead forester for the 51,000 acre Teanaway Community Forest, permanently moving to Cle Elum with his wife, Sophie, and their black lab, Zeal. 

At the end of 2023, compelled by his passion to make a significant difference in the local community and help small landowners manage their forests, Patrick moved on from the DNR and formed Eastside Forestry.

Patrick is a Candidate Full Member with the Association of Consulting Foresters (ACF) and Vice-President of Washington Farm Forestry Association Kittitas Chapter. Patrick speaks at Cle Elum Middle/High School yearly, as well as several local clubs and outdoor related events. He also teaches a free outdoor forestry class each year in Cle Elum.
