CAVS, DAVEY SCORE FOR CLEVELAND'S CANOPY WITH #TREES4THREES
Cleveland is one step closer to
rekindling its lost nickname of the
Forest City with the help of a winning
partnership between Davey, the
Cleveland Cavaliers and PwC.
The third annual Trees for Threes
program marked a hallmark year for
the Cavs. The team secured an NBA
National Championship, and Northeast
Ohio scored 433 new trees for every
three-point shot made by the Cavs
during their 2015-16 regular season
home games.
Of the 433 total trees, 60 trees were
planted in mid-October at the Great
Lakes Science Center and the Rock
One hundred students from the
Cleveland Metropolitan School
District MC2 STEM High School, Cavs
representatives and volunteers from
Davey, PwC, WRLC and the Holden
Forests & Gardens planted the first
60 trees. All 433 trees will add a total
economic benefit of $1.5 million to the
community over the next 40 years.
Tedd Bartlett, district manager of the
North East Cleveland R/C office, and
his team planted 16 trees.
"It was a very good group with a lot
of hard workers," Bartlett said.
