DAVEY AROUND THE WORLD
VISITING MOUNT RUSHMORE WITH
A PURPOSE
Terry Brier, sales representative, Portland office, Residential/
Commercial services, helped chaperone 60 high school students
on a trip to Mount Rushmore in April as they attended the 2025
Moose International Youth Awareness Congress where $30,000
in scholarships were awarded.
High schoolers mentor elementary school students in this program,
which is run throughout the U.S. and Canada. Subjects focused on
include drug and alcohol abuse, bullying, nutrition and other topics.
"It's a great introduction to public speaking. It builds confidence,
and it gives an opportunity for scholarships and a free trip," Brier,
a coordinator for The Oregon Moose Association, said. "When the
high school students get in front of the elementary school kids,
you can see their ears come forward and their eyes light up."

SOAKING UP SUN IN PORTUGAL
Out in Salema, Algarve, Portugal, Jamie Morgan and her family
hiked, swam and ate local, caught octopus in a beautiful
landscape that featured Mediterranean tree species – and even
saw dinosaur tracks!
When her husband was scheduled to present at a conference in
the country's capital of Lisbon, the opportunity soon turned into
a family vacation, and Morgan said the experience was cooler
than they ever imagined.
"There were turquoise, crystal-clear waters, dinosaur tracks
left in the orange sandstone and a backpackers trail through
the coastal mountains," Morgan, associate consultant,
Environmental Consulting services, Davey Resource Group,
said. "It wasn't touristy, as it is one of the last fishing villages
in the area. We never ran into another American."
