THE DAVEY BULLETIN
'TREE OF LIFE' PROGRAM
MEMORIALIZES LOVED ONES
Davey partnered with longtime Commercial Landscape
Services (CLS) client Akron Children's Hospital to plant
three trees as part of the Tree of Life program.
The trees, each planted through a $1,000 donation,
memorialized loved ones that have passed.
"Davey Tree has been a long-time valued partner of Akron
Children's Hospital," said Machelle Syx, corporate alliance
program manager for Akron Children's Hospital. "The Tree of
Life Program is a unique blend of Akron Children's and Davey
Tree's missions and was created in an effort to support
the hospital and families that we serve. This program has
allowed individuals to give back to the hospital while also
creating a lasting tribute to a loved one. Without the support
of the community and corporations such as Davey Tree,
the services and programs provided by Akron Children's
Hospital would not be possible."
The three trees were planted by the Cleveland East CLS
territory this August at a residence, Barlow Farm Park in
Hudson, Ohio, and Fort Island Park in Akron, Ohio.
Akron Children's Hospital, a long-time CLS client, has partnered with
Davey on a memorial tree program.
GROWING
A COMMUNITY
CANOPY
Making room for new trees by
grinding stumps was the name of
the game for Davey's South Baltimore
R/C office as they participated in the
2018 TreeUp event.
In an effort to green the streets of
the Federal Hill South neighborhood,
Davey was asked to help identify
and remove dead street trees and
to grind out existing stumps in tree
pits to allow the community to easily
and effectively plant new trees. The
community received trees for planting
but did not have access to the
equipment or skills to make the space
available for these new plants.
