21 March/April 2020 | THE DAVEY BULLETIN For residents of cities throughout Georgia, the end of the Christmas season meant delivering their dried-out pines to a local Home Depot for Davey Tree to chip into mulch. As part of the statewide Keep Georgia Beautiful campaign for the past 29 years, Davey has helped Georgians recycle their old trees into mulch, which is then donated to local playgrounds, government beautification projects, community parks, individual yards, and even fish habitats in lakes. Chris Heim, district manager, North Atlanta office, said crews from the Atlanta office and the Atlanta office of Arborguard Tree Specialists, a Davey Company, chipped more than 60,000 trees at 42 Home Depot stores in the Atlanta metro area. In its nearly 30-year history, the program has diverted more than 6 million Christmas trees from municipal landfills. Shawn Kingzette, sales arborist, Dundee office, spoke with the Ancient Oaks Foundation, a local nonprofit committed to restoring the oak woodland in the Chicago Metropolitan Area, about addressing invasive pests and species in the city's urban canopy. As knowledgeable, community-based At a public meeting, Shawn Kingzette discussed the impacts of invasive species and pests on tree canopy cover in the communities of Lake Zurich, Hawthorn Woods, Kildeer and Long Grove of Northwestern Chicago. TALKING INVASIVES WITH ANCIENT OAKS 60,000+ CHRISTMAS TREES CHIPPED IN GEORGIA More than 400 "bring one for the chipper" sites were available throughout the state in early January. Residents had to remove all ornaments and make sure there was no artificial snow on the limbs. OTHER SPONSORS: • The Home Depot • Georgia Forestry Commission • One Tree Planted • WXIA-TV arborists, Davey crews are already helping address canopy issues, he said. And the company benefits from relationship building with organizations with shared values and interests like Ancient Oaks. "By working together, tree advocates in the public and private sector can help protect, preserve and improve our tree communities as a resource and benefit for the towns and neighborhoods we serve in," said Kingzette.
