SPREADING MULCH
AND TREE LOVE
Tallahassee, Florida, celebrated the
state's Arbor Day this year by planting
185 trees throughout Apalachee
Regional Park. More than 100
volunteers stepped out to reconnect
with nature and give back to their
community with the gift of trees.
After the trees were planted, six
Wolf Tree, Inc., a Davey company,
employees tended to the trees by
properly mulching each tree. The Wolf
Tree employees, George Trice, Jeff
Teehee, Harold Robison, John Conley
and Ronnie Ruth came out to the park
on a cold and rainy Saturday to make
sure the community would have these
trees to enjoy for many years to come
– now that's tree love!
Community members celebrate Florida's Arbor Day by planting nearly 200 trees
throughout a local Tallahassee park.
FIELD NOTES
PLANTING AN EYE IN THE SKY
Rob Kruljac, assistant district manager, North Pittsburgh R/C
office, helped the Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania
and PixController, a surveillance camera company, install
two eagle cams to watch two nesting pairs of bald eagles
in Hays and Harmarville, Pennsylvania, for educational
purposes and public awareness.
Kruljac didn't get to see the eagles while installing the
camera. But, maybe that was a good thing.
"I was hoping they would fly in, but at the same time
I was hoping they wouldn't," Kruljac said.
The sheer size of the nests impressed Kruljac.
"I could picture me and five of my friends sitting in that
thing," he said. "You feel very tiny when you are standing
next to it."
Kruljac said, of the two projects, the Harmarville project
was the highlight simply because of the size of the tree
he was climbing.
"It's a specimen sycamore growing out of this valley," Kruljac
said. "Just climbing that tree alone would have been an epic
experience. But, adding the giant eagle's nest at the top of
it made it even more wonderful."
