THE DAVEY BULLETIN
"
I believe Davey culture
is showing up to work
every day with an
optimistic mindset and
making sure you are
doing your best to assist
your clients and your
peers. Whether sitting
in the office answering
phones and emails or
out and about making
those face-to-face
contacts, you want
to put forth your best
effort in a safe and
effective way to make
your client's experience
the best it can possibly
be. When you put that
positive work effort out
there you get positive
responses in return –
the ones you want
to hear.

TELL US A STORY

If you work at Davey, and you're
reading this column, then it's likely you
might believe that trees have a voice.
Biologist and author David Haskell
is making the case that trees do, in
fact, have a voice. And that voice
changes depending on the species.
Published in 2017, Haskell's latest
book, The Songs of Trees, includes an
explanation of how he believes trees
can talk.
It's quite an imaginative exercise to
wonder what kind of a story a tree
would tell.
LEGACY TREES
In Oregon this spring, residents
of North Clackamas gathered at
Happy Valley Park to take part in
a tree planting.
This event offered a celebratory
yet mournful component. Honoring
loved ones, family members planted
memorial trees to celebrate a lost
family member or friend as part of the
"Gift Tree" program, the Clackamas
Review reported. The fledgling trees
would take root and give new life to
the memory of the beloved.
"This tree will go on living, and
another generation can come here
and say this tree is for grandma,"
Portland resident Jill Konig told the
Clackamas Review about a tree
planted for her mother.

WHAT DID YOU DO FOR
ARBOR DAY?
In the next Bulletin, the July/August
issue, we'll highlight some of the
amazing ways Davey teams gave
back to their community for Arbor
Day in 2018.
So, if your team did something great
for the community on Arbor Day,
tell us about it! Email your story ideas
to bulletin@davey.com, and we'll
choose a select few stories to feature

LIFELONG LEARNERS
Speaking of Davey stories, in this issue
there are a lot of stories about training.
Numerous Davey employees received
specialized training on a variety of
topics, including Plant Health Care,
hazard trees and general arborist skills.
Community members in Massachusetts
learned basic tree care methods
and arboriculture skills. Arborguard
employees learned more about
TreeKeeper, Davey's tree inventory
software. Utility services employees
learned how to become better leaders.
The theme here is continuing education
– something Davey employees pride
themselves on. We are lifelong
learners who strive for constant
improvement. Kudos to every Davey
employee who's working to expand
their knowledge base!
