43 Naples, Florida More than 8,000 community members joined Davey Tree for the Naples Zoo Arbor Day event in Naples, Florida. For the third consecutive year, Davey Tree enthralled visitors with tree climbing demonstrations in the Rainforest Grove exhibit next to the lions and bears. Children attending the event enjoyed being greeted from above by Davey Tree climbers. Davey Tree employees were also available to answer tree- and landscape-related questions while distributing eco pens, drink holders and green Davey Tree wristbands. " The event is important because it helps spread awareness of the trees' value and educate individuals on tree maintenance and planting." DAN POWELL, DISTRICT MANAGER, NAPLES R/C OFFICE Rochester, Minnesota Maier Tree & Lawn, a Davey company, celebrated their 13th annual Arbor Day Celebration with support from their sponsoring partner, Rochester Public Utilities. The event began in 2002 with an Arbor Day Poster Contest at a local school. Students were challenged to draw posters about why trees are terrific in cities and towns. The poster contest has grown to include more than 81 schools and 1,000 poster entries. This year, the Arbor Day Celebration included boxed lunches, rope climbing, bean bag toss, clowns and balloonists. After the event, participants planted trees in the community. " This is a bigger-than-myself event and I am lucky to be a part of it. It's an educational day that is fun and well organized." JAY MAIER, DISTRICT MANAGER, MAIER TREE & LAWN R/C OFFICE Kirtland, Ohio Davey Tree was again a proud sponsor of Arbor Day 2015 at Northeast Ohio's Holden Arboretum, one of the nation's largest arboreta. The multi-day celebration of trees provided hands-on activities, interactive shows and educational activities to attendees. Davey Tree supplied equipment and assisted at the children's tree climbing station. In addition, Davey Tree representatives offered attendees free consultation services and information packets at the Davey Tree tent. More than 2,500 people attended the event. " I care for trees and I want to get the public interested in caring for trees, too. When I see ambition in a young person, I figure just one tree climbing experience could potentially influence his or her career as an adult. Hopefully some of the young participants have found a new respect for trees." JOE SHAW, RECRUITER/TRAINER
