Partnerships and Industry Leadership
Since our founding, we have supported and partnered with
organizations to promote healthy trees and healthy communities.
We encourage employees to participate as leaders in these
organizations through committees and board positions. By
investing in programs that educate and promote a sustainable
environment, we strengthen our communities and ensure that
future generations will care for trees and enjoy their benefits.
Below is a sampling of our partnerships and industry leadership:
American Academy for Park & Recreation Administration:
We sponsor The Honorable Cornelius Amory Pugsley Medals,
which are prestigious awards that recognize outstanding
contributions to the promotion and development of public parks
in the United States.
American Forests: We are the premier sponsor of the National
Register of Big Trees, which records and documents the most
well-known trees, including more than 800 native and naturalized
tree species in the United States.
Arbor Day Foundation (ADF): We collaborated to develop
Energy Saving Trees (EST), which helps homeowners and utility
companies save energy through strategically placed trees. In
2013, we donated $1.00 to the ADF community tree recovery
program for every Davey holiday card we sent.
Canadian Urban Forest Conference (CUFC): Since 1992, the
National Community Tree Foundation (now Tree Canada) and
the Canadian Forestry Association, collaborated to organize a
Canadian Urban Forest Conference. Every two years, the CUFC
brings together professionals and community groups to share
their experiences and innovative approaches to the stewardship
of Canada's urban forests. We take pride in being one of the
conference hosts to promote dialogue around urban forest
strategies, policies, technologies and management practices.
