THE DAVEY BULLETIN
ANNUAL CELEBRATION OF TREES
Every day is a good day to celebrate
trees, but as all arborists know one
special day stands out tall among the
rest like a coastal redwood towering
over a forest.
Davey employees celebrated Arbor
Day in true Davey fashion this year
by giving back to their communities
in ways only arborists can. You all
planted trees to improve your local
canopies, taught children the right
way to plant trees, and more on
national Arbor Day this year.
Turn to page 10 to see some of the
ways we celebrated Arbor Day.
MAKING HISTORY
For the first time ever, the Davey
Annual Shareholders' Meeting
was held at the new Davey SEED
(Science, Employee Education and
Development) Campus.
Turn to page 6 for coverage of
the meeting.
This year's meeting draws a
connection on the timeline of Davey's
145-year history to 1985, when the
first shareholders' meeting was held
in the Davey Institute building at the
corporate campus. The Institute and
corporate campus opened that year,
and 105 shareholders attended the
first meeting held there.
