COAST-TO-COAST STORMS
Record-setting snow and rain storms
inundated Davey utility and residential
clients this winter.
In Buffalo in December, several feet
of snow fell in a single storm creating
snow drifts as tall as houses and
causing power delivery and
transportation issues. By the end
of December, Buffalo recorded its
third-highest snowfall amount in
December in city history with a total
64.7 inches of snowfall. Turn to page
6 to see how our crews helped
Buffalonians weather the storm.
In California in January, seven separate
atmospheric rivers made landfall
in the Golden State. These storms
brought with them wind gusts close
to 100 mph in some areas and rainfall
amounts that exceeded historical
averages for the time period. In
Sacramento alone, the city received
7.54 inches of rainfall in January – nearly
double the 30-year average for the
month. Turn to page 8 to read about
how Davey Tree Surgery Company
crews responded to the wet weather.
ROOTED IN EDUCATION
This Bulletin issue celebrates the
2023 class of the Davey Institute of
Tree Sciences (D.I.T.S.). Our oldest and
most prestigious training program,
D.I.T.S. graduated its first class in 1909.
This year, the ISA exam was held by
lantern-light! Turn to page 16 to learn
about this year's class.
This issue continues our remembrance
of our company founder, John Davey,
who died in 1923. John had a passion
for education. Turn to the back cover
of this issue to learn some facts you
might not know about John and his
love of teaching and learning.
