DAVEY SUPPORTS HIGH SCHOOL ARBORICULTURE PROGRAM
High school students studying arboriculture are
getting some brand-new, professional grade climbing
equipment thanks to support from Davey.
Davey made a $10,000 donation to the arboriculture
program at Theodore Roosevelt High School, located
next to the corporate campus. The money, along with
a $5,000 grant from the TREE Fund, will pay for the
purchase of 15 new sets of climbing gear, which includes
ropes, harnesses, lanyards and carabiners.
The program is part of a six-district compact which
includes students from across Northeast Ohio. Students
in the program have worked alongside Davey employees,
including at The John Davey Arboretum, to learn proper
pruning and other tree care methods.
Davey President and CEO Pat Covey presented the
donation to Tom Franek, the program's instructor,
this summer.
R/C WESTERN OPERATIONS UNITE SUMMER INTERNS
Davey's Colorado Residential/Commercial (R/C) management
team held a dinner for their five summer interns at the
beginning of their internship to connect them with their
other fellow interns and interact with the larger team in
an informal setting.
"It also allows our teams to make our interns feel like they
are part of a larger group, an organization, a team of people
who work well together and take care of trees better than
anyone else," said Andy Ferguson, operations manager,
South Central R/C Operating Group.
This year's interns were Kameron Krause, Boulder office,
Logan Henry, Fort Collins office, Logan Cinnamon, North
Denver office, Wiley Schatz, South Denver office, and
Ka Mele Sanchez, East Denver office. They received a
comprehensive look at the R/C service line by working in
each department for a few weeks and spending time with
the sales, management and office support staff.
Schatz was hired on full-time at the South Denver R/C office.
Henry, Cinnamon, Krause and Sanchez completed their
internships and are back at school for the fall.
