Owner & Operator

BenTibbetts

Hi there. My name is Ben, and I’m the owner and operator of Backwoods Forestry Mulching. I am husband, father to 3 amazing kiddos, homeschool graduate, and Marine veteran. My wife and I grew up in a tight knit homeschool community in WA state. I joined the Marine Corps shortly after high school and married my wife on boot leave. We welcomed our first daughter in 2014. During my time serving as a Marine, we moved around and a lot and as we planned to transition out of military life, we felt lead to settle down in Idaho as soon as we were able to. Shortly after getting out, we welcomed our second little girl into the world in 2018 and kept pushing toward our goal of homesteading in North Idaho. We purchased our first home in December of 2019, welcomed our son in 2020, and made the transition to Idaho the beginning of 2021. We now own a 10 acre off grid homestead in the mountains of Clark Fork, which has been a dream come true. The Lord has blessed our journey here time and time again. I am so grateful to be able to raise my children and work in this community. Until now I have spent most of my time working as a commercial electrician apprentice but felt a need to be able to independently provide for my family. This led us to opening our own business as we continue to grow our family and homestead. I look forward to working with you.

Co-Owner & Secretary

Cassandra Tibbetts

Hey! My name is Cassie (Cassandra), Ben’s wife and mother of our amazing kiddos. I have a passion for homeschooling and homesteading. My favorite pasttimes are working with my guard dogs, milking my goats, and gardening on our property. While my main job is homemaker, homeschool mama, and homesteader, you will see most of my work with our business is behind the scenes. As co-owner and secretary, I will be the one responding to emails, answering many calls, and sending out invoices. It is a joy to work in this wonderful community.

Testimonials

“We are very pleased with the wildfire prevention work on our property. Looks and feels so much better. Great company to work with.”
- R W.
“Did a fantastic job. We now have property that we haven't seen or able to use in over 20 yrs. Fire fuel reduced. Very professional & pleasure to talk with. Thank you.”
- Gwen Kevin H.
“We are very pleased with Ben at Backwoods Forestry Mulching! Not only did he come and give us a quote on the spot, he took the time to listen to exactly what we wanted. He offered great advice and feedback on our ideas as well as shared his expertise on the trees and bushes on our property. Ben requested a fair price and really helped us jumpstart outside projects on our new construction home. We will greatly benefit from his advice to create a fire break around our property. He worked fast and efficiently, even fitting us in his schedule much earlier than expected. We will definitely hire him in the future when we need his services again.”
- Amy F.
“We had some very thick trees where the ground had not seen the sun in decades. Even after living, it did not clear these out. In one day, we had 2-3 acres clear and mulched. This would have taken us months to do by hand. It was fantastic and worth every penny! Now our critters can freeze without the threat of predators hiding in the dark forest. Thank you! C. Morgan, Heron, Mt.”
- Cindy M.
“Backwoods Forestry Mulching is awesome! Ben came to our property and gave us a thorough assessment and estimate, then mulched nearly 10 acres of our forested property in two days. He did it in a way that actually increased the health of our forest, aided our timber management plan and opened it up so we could actually enjoy it. My wife and I found Ben to be extremely up front, hard working and a true expert in his field. If anyone needs a mulching service, we highly recommend Backwoods Forestry Mulching!.”
