16 THE DAVEY BULLETIN | September/October 2021 GIVING BACK AND CLIMBING UP IN MINNESOTA When Casey Snyder, sales arborist, North Minneapolis office, was in college, his only experience with the arboriculture industry was when Davey recruiters visited his school. Now he's looking to pay it forward. During the spring semester, Snyder visited 10 students at Hennepin Technical College in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, and hosted two days of hands-on climbing experience at a nearby park. Matt Sharrow, foreman, South Minneapolis office, and Christian Feichtinger, arborist skills trainer, also volunteered. Snyder said one student in the class recognized him from years prior when Snyder worked in the trees around his house and gave him a business card. Now, that student studies arboriculture and hopes to join Davey. "This was an opportunity for the students to experience what Davey arborists do, and what daily life could be like for them," Snyder said. LEADERSHIP During the classes, Casey Snyder set up six trees with climbing lines for students to learn and practice climbing skills as well as limb walking. From the ground, he explained the pruning process and how to assess the trees before each climb by looking for areas of concern.
