Meet the Founding Fairy
I’m Alyssa aka Tree Fairy, Tree Girl, Beaver , Lyss , That girl about the trees.
I’ve been around here long enough to start sentences with “remember when” and actually mean it. Two decades ago, I was riding horses through these paddocks, streets and forests collecting low-hanging branches with my face. These days, I drive trucks through the same places - and the branches have learned to behave.
If we haven’t met yet, at my core I’m just a long time local mum to an 8-year-old and a full-time professional tree whisperer by day. Put simply, I just fell in love with trees. Everything I know was taught to me by a true local legend and my roots, like local legacies in Brookfield, run deep. The kind of deep only a big little country town understands.
Alongside everything else, I live with Stage 4 Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis. Every few years it get’s serious. It’s brutal but it’s managed. If needed, I take the time to recover and before we know it, I’m back at full capacity and it’s like I never left.
I don’t want to be remembered for dramatic tree heroics. Just that I showed up when you needed someone who knew the people and land, respected it and got the job done properly.
Yes, the name is whimsical. Yes, the vibes are chaotic.
The work is not.

Who we are
Tree Fairy wasn’t born out of whimsy - it came from deep roots, grown here in Brookfield. The trees, the land, the people and the quiet way locals have always looked after all three. The kind of knowledge you don’t learn from manuals or trends - you learn it by being here, listening and doing the work.
Our roots were watered by a true local legend. That knowledge - practical, hard-earned and deeply respected is something worth protecting and sharing. Tree Fairy exists to protect trees, local knowledge and the unspoken rule that we look after what looks after us.
It’s about healthy trees, safer spaces and locals helping each other. Without fuss, fanfare or nonsense. We will however, bring all the vibes when it comes to trees.
The name might sound light-hearted and yes, the vibes can be chaotic but the work is serious, grounded and done with care. Because looking after trees is really about looking after each other.
Just like the legacies before us.
And that’s always been the way around here.
