The Davey Resource Group and Eastern Utility Services partnered with their client MidAmerican Energy to plant two prairifire flowering crabapple trees on Arbor Day at St. Paul's the Apostle Catholic School in Davenport, Iowa. Geoff Watson, production manager with DRG Upper Midwest Region UVM Group, said any opportunity to capitalize upon each other's strengths can only make the two service lines stronger. Marty Kenosian, production manager for the Eastern Utility MidAmerican Energy Account, recently moved to COMBINING FORCES FOR PLANTING WITH MUTUAL CLIENT the area from Detroit and volunteered at the rainy, cold planting at the school. Kenosian said it was a great opportunity to do something for the new community he just moved to. "It was nice getting out into the community and doing something in our field for charity," Kenosian said. April's not an optimal time to plant trees in Portland, Oregon. However, for Ruth Williams, project coordinator with Davey Resource Group, Arbor Month is a time to celebrate. "It's sort of the party at the end of the planting season where we look at the urban forest and go 'Hey, yeah, ARBOR MONTH AN AFTERPARTY FOR THE PLANTING SEASON we made it a little better this year,'" Williams said. Williams volunteered a total of 31 hours throughout the month and participated in several events, including working with the Street Tree Inventory Volunteers (pictured above). She noticed the themes of diversity and inclusion popping up throughout the month. Many communities designed their events to focus on these two areas, she said. "I think the urban forest should be available to all," Williams said. "We should be reaching out to all members of our community." Davey's Marty Kenosian, David Apple, Eric Lissy, Michael Coers and Matthew Bailey volunteered alongside Mitch Salek and Derek Sanders from MidAmerican Energy to plant two prairifire flowering crabapple trees at St. Paul's the Apostle Catholic School. 20 The Davey Bulletin | September/October 2017 The Street Tree Inventory Volunteers, which included Ruth Williams (front row, fourth from left), won the group Bill Naito Community Tree Award for their 17,000 hours of work dedicated to measuring, mapping and identifying 218,602 street trees in Portland, per the city of Portland Parks and Recreation Department.
