Search and Rescue Pine Tree Patch — Order This Sheriff Pickaxe and Shovel Design
Design S1122A at a glance
A custom-cut patch edged in black merrow, with a pine tree set inside a keystone, a crossed pickaxe and shovel beneath it, and oak leaves and acorns around the frame. Lettering carries the county name, a sheriff line, a search and rescue title and an established year — all restitchable to yours. The digging tools and forest imagery point to wilderness and backcountry searches rather than water rescue.

About this pine tree and pickaxe sheriff search and rescue design
Sheriff's search and rescue teams spend their hours in timber, scree and snow, and this design gives them an emblem that looks like the work. The pine tree inside a keystone anchors it, the crossed pickaxe and shovel speak to digging out and climbing through, and the oak leaves and acorns frame it with a woodland feel. Green and black with gold and white accents hold up on muddy field gear.
Order it as shown or tailor it: put your county and team title in the lettering, swap the shovel for an ice axe or a rope coil, or turn the field to blaze orange for high-visibility kit. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order — your stitch-ready proof arrives 6–12 hours after you order, and nothing is produced until you approve it.

Search and rescue pine tree patch questions
Can the tools change to fit our terrain?
Yes. The pickaxe and shovel can become an ice axe, a rope coil, a compass or a litter — mark the change and we redraw it at no art charge.
Can our county and team title replace the sample text?
Yes. All four lettering lines restitch to your wording — county, sheriff, team title and year — and the mockup shows them placed.
Is there a high-visibility version?
Yes. A blaze-orange or safety-yellow field with black lettering works well for SAR kit; preview it in the markup tool before you quote.
Will the acorns and oak leaves stay visible on a small patch?
At 3.5 inches and up, yes. For helmet-size patches we simplify the leaf veins on your proof so the stitching stays clean.
How do I send changes to this design?
Use the markup tool in the quote form to circle the tools, pin notes on the lettering and switch the field color. The marked-up SAR design attaches to your quote.
Need a different sheriff design, or the whole range?
This pine-and-pickaxe emblem is built for backcountry teams. The sheriff patch designs beyond this pine tree and pickaxe SAR emblem cover patrol stars, K9 units and mounted posses. Weighing PVC against embroidery for wet field gear? The patch guide pricing a wilderness search and rescue design at every quantity compares materials and backings.
