9 May/June 2022 | THE DAVEY BULLETIN ADDING MORE FORESTS AT SUMMIT METRO PARKS Above: DRG and Summit Metro Parks are long-time partners. Corine Peugh appreciates the client for understanding natural areas and habitat management. Left: Variations in the planting layouts may be studied to see if layout changes impact survival rates as trees mature. Davey Resource Group (DRG) planted roughly 17,500 trees for Summit Metro Parks as part of their Centennial Tree Project to convert open park lands to forests. Summit Metro Parks is celebrating its centennial by reforesting 100 acres. Summit Metro Parks are located throughout Summit County in Northeast Ohio. DRG was awarded three planting projects by the Metro Parks. Two plantings occurred in fall 2021 at Silver Creek Metro Park and Wood Hollow Metro Park. The largest of the three plantings was completed in Spring 2022 at Tallmadge Meadows Park. 12,500 bareroot trees were planted at Tallmadge Meadows Park. There are 35 different tree species included as part of these plantings. The most challenging part of the project was the logistics behind planning large scale planting projects that were spread over long periods of time, said Corine Peugh, senior project manager, DRG, Environmental Consulting services. All three projects also required deer protection installations on all the trees, which required more time during the installations. Peugh is grateful for the field crews and their ability to adapt throughout this project. "It takes a whole other level of logistics and coordination to do a planting this big," Peugh said. "The crews on the ground are the ones who are figuring out the most efficient way to get the trees in the ground and working things out on the fly." To assist with the Tallmadge Meadows Park project, DRG enlisted the help of the Cleveland West Commercial Landscape Services territory. Cleveland West sent three employees to provide extra personnel for the project. "Davey is one team. When DRG calls us for help we always try to send people to assist them," said Ed Yambor, account manager, CLS. "It helps our branch and helps them meet their contract deadlines." With these plantings, Peugh hopes to have high survivability rates at each planting site. All three sites will be monitored this summer, and in the fall a survival count will be done to determine if any trees need to be replanted.
