16 THE DAVEY BULLETIN | January/February 2020 Paul Herb talked with students about the internship opportunities available at Davey during a climbing class he coordinates. He stresses the importance of internships, so they can find out if they are passionate about pursuing a career in the industry. Herb also tries to have graduates of the Allegany forestry program present, so the students can talk to them about their careers. INVESTING IN ALLEGANY'S FUTURE ARBORISTS For many years, Davey's Residential/ Commercial (R/C) services Mid-Atlantic Operating Group has supported the Allegany College of Maryland's forestry program by teaching a 40-hour, two-weekend practical tree climbing class. LEADERSHIP SUPPORTING A SUPPORTIVE CLIENT The Indianapolis R/C office donated the removal of a declining blue spruce from the courtyard at Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Indiana to make room for a new statue in memory of children who have passed away. Ronald McDonald House has been a Davey client for many years and the office does routine pruning on the property every two or three years, said Isaac Miller, sales arborist. "This year when we were out pruning, they told us about their interest in removing the spruce," Miller said. "I talked with my manager about donating the work. I figured it would be nice to give something back, as they've been a great client." The following Davey employees assisted Paul Herb with the class: Chris Klimas, operations manager, Mid-Atlantic Operating Group; Dan Malooly, sales arborist, Washington, D.C., R/C office; Lou Meyer, assistant district manager, Chesapeake R/C office; Steve Nagy, assistant district manager, Dulles R/C office; Chris Rosier, sales arborist, South Baltimore R/C office; and Matt Trainum, sales and service technician, Washington, D.C., R/C office Pictured from left are Harold Hagerman, foreman, and Isaac Miller. Not pictured is John Caulk, groundman. He also assisted with the removal. The class is composed of classroom work and hands on application. The students learn tree climbing basics, receive an overview of industry safety standards and eventually test out their climbing skills, said Paul Herb, sales arborist, North Baltimore R/C office. Herb is the lead class instructor. "It's important that Davey gets our name out there," Herb said. "It shows that we are willing to invest our time in people and these students. Davey has so much to offer these students and a lot of schools don't realize that, especially in the area of urban forestry."
