DAVEY AROUND THE WORLD
Helsinki Hosts Entomology Conference
Adam Baker, technical advisor, Davey Institute, pictured holding the
Bulletin at the Kaisaniemi Botanic Garden in Helsinki, Finland. He
traveled to Helsinki for the International Congress of Entomology (ICE)
2022 conference. He presented at the Japanese beetle symposium,
discussing the life history of the beetle and alternative control
measures, as well as fl orivory, or tissue damage to fl owers caused by
animals or fl ower herbivores, of native plants.
In his downtime, Baker enjoyed Finland's architecture and food with
his wife and travel partner, Londa. "Of note, there were only three
hours of darkness each day, from midnight to 3 a.m.!" Baker said.
Drings Enjoy Western U.S. Family Trip
Bryan "Bear" Dring, foreman, West Cleveland offi ce, and his wife,
Robyn, along with their sons, Logan, and Dylan, are pictured wearing
their Davey hats at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, one of the
sights they stopped at along the route of their family trip out West.
"We started out hiking around the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains
in California, which were abundant with redwoods. Then we drove
through Death Valley which was amazing, and the temperature was
extremely hot. Next, we went to Las Vegas, and showed the kids
some cool things like the Hoover Dam. That was so fascinating. Then,
we drove to Williams, Arizona, the gateway to Grand Canyon National
Park. We stayed a few nights and took a two hour train ride to the
South Rim. We saw the sunset, which was the most magnifi cent
thing we've ever seen, then woke up at 4 a.m. the following morning
to get to a beautiful spot for the sunrise," Dring said.
DRG Consultant Tours Islands of Greece
Andy Dortch, associate consultant for Davey Resource Group,
brought his Davey Bulletin along as he spent three weeks touring
the islands of Greece with his wife and several friends. The group
spent their time visiting historic sites and sampling the local cuisine.
"It was incredible," Dortch said. "The people were nice, the lodging
was amazing and the food was ridiculously good."
