2: WESTERN RESERVE LAND CONSERVANCY
Davey sponsors Western Reserve Land Conservancy's (WRLC) tree planting events in 2022.
Four spring planting events aided Northeast Ohio neighborhoods with sparse tree canopies.
An Earth Day tree planting was held in Eastlake, Ohio. Davey employees helped volunteers
plant 56 trees. Davey employees joined WRLC and Habitat for Humanity of Cleveland
volunteers (guests and volunteer groups pictured) in Cleveland's Buckeye Woodhill neighborhood
on Arbor Day to plant 13 new trees. The trees were planted at Habitat for Humanity of
Cleveland homes. Employees also volunteered at two more May tree planting events with
WRLC in Cleveland at the Garden of Eleven Angels and the Monroe Street Cemetery.
1: HOLDEN FORESTS & GARDENS
Located in Kirtland, Ohio, Holden Forests & Gardens
(HF&G) celebrated the 150th anniversary of Arbor Day with
free admission to the Cleveland Botanical Garden and the
Holden Arboretum, as well as tree seedling giveaways at
both locations. Davey donated 750 seedlings, including
sugar maple, red maple, Douglas-fir, and Serbian spruce
to events at both HF&G campuses. Davey's Jennifer
Lennox, director, public relations, and her son, Nate
Lennox (pictured on the left), distributed the seedlings to

9: SAN FRANCISCO OFFICE
The City of San Mateo, California,
donated 12 new trees to San Mateo
High School. Adam Jensen, district
manager, San Francisco office, and
Stephen Howard, assistant district
manager, delivered the trees to the
school for their Arbor Day event. They
assisted students from the school's
Environmental Science class by helping
them prep the planting areas. The
students planted six deodar cedar, four
netleaf oaks, and two cork oaks. The
trees were chosen based on their heat
and drought tolerance and are species
often found in the Middle East and
Mexico. These areas share similar
climates with San Mateo, as well as
sharing projected climates for the next
50 years due to climate change.
