RECRUITING FUTURE ARBORISTS IN THE EAST
Crews from Davey's New Jersey
Residential/Commercial (R/C) services
volunteered with a dozen other tree
care and landscape professionals,
students and volunteers to clear the
Salem Road School's canopy of
many dead and dying trees.
Since 2006, the "One Day One
School" event has united volunteers
to give back to a different New Jersey
school each year.
"We at Davey were part of the
founding group of this program," said
Rick Close, sales arborist, New Jersey
R/C office. To continue the tradition,
Mike Pollard, district manager, New
Jersey R/C office, sent four volunteers
from his office to join the cause.
TREE CARE MAKES
A DAY'S DIFFERENCE
Together, tree care firms, locals and
students alike removed 42 dead and
hazardous trees and pruned 100 more
on the Salem school property.
Davey employees were happy to
volunteer their time and skills to make
their community school grounds a
greener and safer place for children
to learn and play.
"Our crew members look forward to
this event every year," Pollard said.
"They are proud of our district and
want to represent Davey well to their
peers and the local community."

of students and professors between
15 and 20 each learned about Davey
services, sales and marketing proce-
dures and service delivery processes.
During the visits, all attendees were
provided lunch courtesy of Davey, and
they left with a Davey-emblazoned gift.
Chris Klimas, operations manager,
Mid-Atlantic R/C, said Davey schedules
follow-up visits to the schools later in
the school year for another chance to
meet and make an impression with
potential employees.
"There are many Penn State and
Allegany College alumni at Davey,
and our goal is to attract more,"
Klimas said.
