Welcome to the official landing hub for WhereIsWillow.com! Alongside her inseparable job-site sister Capri (WhereIsCapri.com), Willow—Mark and Eileen Skowron’s loyal black-and-white Border Collie—represents the heart, warmth, and family heritage behind Morning Star Tree Company Inc. (founded January 1980).
From posing proudly on the front bumper of the fire engine in Centereach, NY (where Mark has served as a Firefighter with Centereach Fire Department Engine Co. 3 since September 1993) to standing beneath the Florida Welcomes You arch on the way to their permanent Tampa Bay, FL Home Base, Willow is cherished by Mark, wife Eileen, and son Kyle Skowron.
For over 46 years (since January 1980), Morning Star Tree Company Inc. has been a true family-owned operation built on personal trust, neighborly warmth, and first-responder discipline. Throughout years of long days on tree removals and firehouse gatherings in Centereach, New York, Willow—Mark and Eileen’s gentle, intelligent black-and-white Border Collie—was always right by the family’s side.
Whether posing alongside Capri on the chrome front bumper of the fire engine, playing chest-deep in golden autumn oak leaves, or road-tripping south with Mark, Eileen, and son Kyle Skowron to their permanent Tampa Bay, FL Home Base, Willow’s spirit lives at the center of everything Morning Star Tree Company stands for.
