To coincide with Davey's 2013 Christmas card order and the spirit of giving, the company provided a donation to the Arbor Day Foundation's Community Tree Recovery Program in December 2013. Here is a description of the program and the benefits it will provide during the 2014 spring and summer season from Program Manager Abbie Eisenhart: More Trees, Please rebuilding and recovery, the Arbor Day Foundation has developed the Community Tree Recovery Program. This new program is working to create a systematic response to disasters in communities nationwide. It helps restore a healthy community tree canopy and offers a positive engagement opportunity for residents across the country who want to be involved and support community tree recovery efforts. In coordination and cooperation with state forestry agencies and key local partners, the Arbor Day Foundation will bring national awareness and identify financial resources to support the distribution of trees to communities in need. The generous donation made by The Davey Tree Expert Company will allow the Arbor Day Foundation to continue to support many important Community Tree Recovery campaigns. In response to recent devastating tornado and fire events, the Arbor Day Foundation launched Community Tree Recovery campaigns that are currently ongoing in northern Alabama, Joplin, Mo. and Bastrop, Texas. This spring provides new opportunities for restoring a sense of hope to communities recovering from disaster as the program begins providing trees to the areas devastated by Hurricane Sandy in New Jersey, the thousands of acres burned by wildfires in Colorado, and the many Kentucky communities devastated by tornados in 2012. —Abbie Eisenhart, program manager Community Tree Recovery Arbor Day Foundation Trees play a vital role in our everyday lives.
