There are few companies out there that offer the opportunities
and upward mobility Davey does. Many of our leaders and vice
presidents started out in the field or the back of a trim truck.
Upper management consists of people who did their job well
and moved up. That's available to anyone who wants it. If you
want to succeed, put in the hours and do what's needed. You
can and will move up at Davey.

OF THE
GIVING BACK IS A YEAR-ROUND EFFORT
Matt

Arbor Day, for arborists, is like the Super Bowl and
Christmas had a baby.
Although each state has its own, national Arbor Day in the
U.S. and Arbor Week in Canada is a special time of the year
when the public listens to us preach about the wondrous
benefits of trees – and why it's important to plant and care
for them. In this issue of The Bulletin, Davey offices from
across North America check in with their stories of how
they spread the gospel of John Davey and shared a love of
trees with their communities by planting or caring for trees
at schools, museums, retirement villages, nature centers
and more.
But Arbor Day isn't the only day when you'll find Davey
employees giving back. There are a variety of ways your local
office or account can give back to the community yearlong.
Take a freshly washed Davey truck to a local touch-a-truck
event for children to explore. Make a tree float for a holiday
parade. Participate in a Halloween trunk-or-treat. Use your
aerial lift to help in an area school's egg-drop challenge.
Get creative.
If nothing else, read all the stories in this issue about
what other Davey offices have done, and see if you can
borrow an idea for nurturing your community.
COVER CONTEST WINNER
The cover of this issue's Bulletin comes from Travis Mitchell,
estimating arborist, Davey Resource Group. Travis is the
winner of the Bulletin Cover Photo Contest, which we
announced in our March/April issue. Travis' photo of Moraine
Lake in Alberta, Canada, is absolutely stunning.
We received more than 50 photo submissions from a few
dozen Davey employees. The Bulletin team narrowed it
down, and then we asked followers of the official Davey
social media accounts to vote for the winner. Our corporate
photographer, Melinda Yoho, shared these thoughts on
Travis' shot: "Great use of lines zigging and zagging down
the frame. The repetition of the tall, foreground trees is nice,
too. The color and value contrasts are great, and the fog
adds a lovely touch!"
Congrats Travis! See page 6 for honorable mentions.
