Keith is a third generation local of Calaveras County and grew up just a few miles as the crow flies from 3ndless 3arth 3covillage.

He has a passion for exploring the serene rivers and blue mountains that surround us here in Mountain Ranch. He currently resides on the land at 333 and is the “Community House Project” lead builder, which gives 333 a pivotal sense of security living in the rural mountains off-grid.

Having access to so many diverse people is allowing the larger community to come together for support, skill-sharing, knowledge, and emotional investment with one another. Keith is the ultimate problem solver and takes on several projects at once. He appreciates when others can assist him with completing tasks or creating solutions to obstacles that arise with builds, organization, and business models. He is resourceful, tactful, and a natural creative that inspires others to think positively when issues come up so as to keep any project’s momentum moving forward with grace.

Most of our crew have backgrounds in environmental science, ecology, botany, logging, farming, conservation, and wildland fire practices. There has been an extreme demand in California to protect homes as seasonal fires burn hotter with more fuel debris accruing in the neglected forests. We consider the larger ecosystem when approaching your property, whether it is one acre or 100 acres. Please give us a call if you are needing assistance with clearing parts of your property. We work on foot and only use handheld equipment. We don’t use masticators or grinders, as they ultimately destroy the soil biome. We prefer to keep the soil intact and ensure the wild habitat can return when we are done working. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f45e6977828496577ad3b8c/c3446877-56b2-4349-8af6-ebab737301ee/F39BDF6D-1313-4BD8-BD17-5CAE9F6D377F_1_105_c.jpeg Forest Restoration - Mobile Milling Keith James Enderlein has been tree felling, logging, and milling lumber for over 5 years.
