Davey has a long-standing tradition of giving back across the U.S. and Canada. We encourage our employees to share their time and talents in their communities and with organizations they are passionate about. As a company, we invest in our communities through sponsorships, donations, and volunteer support.
Davey Employees Are Invested In The Communities Where They Live and Work
Green Leaders Program
Davey launched the Green Leaders program in 2018 to recognize employees’ personal volunteer activities and initiatives that promote trees, sustainable landscapes and the environment. Through the Green Leaders program, Davey employees have made a meaningful impact in the communities they live and work in over the years.

Saluting Branches: An Industry-Wide Day of Service
For 10 consecutive years, Davey has proudly supported Saluting Branches, the largest one-day volunteer event in the tree industry. During this annual day of service, tree care professionals volunteer their time and skills to care for trees and landscapes at national cemeteries to honor veterans. In 2024, more than a hundred Davey employees volunteered their time at 18 national and state veterans' cemeteries and properties in 15 states across the U.S.
We Are Proud To Engage With Our Communities In These Ways And More:
Planting Trees Through Professional Sports Sponsorships
Our sponsorships with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Cleveland Guardians, Pittsburgh Penguins and Kaulig Companies Championship (part of the PGA Tour Champions) have resulted in 5,300+ trees being planted over the years.
Proudly Supporting Our Industry Partners
Davey Tree supports the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), the Arbor Day Foundation, TREE Fund, the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), and more.
Volunteering in Neighborhoods
Davey employees are Parent Teacher Association (PTA) volunteers and youth sports coaches. They are Scouts leaders and Big Brothers Big Sisters of America mentors. They support community clean-ups for their neighborhood parks and National Parks. They share their passion for trees through involvement with community tree plantings and serving on local tree coalitions.
It’s important to show young girls that it's not only acceptable, but encouraged, for them to enter arboriculture. … I enjoy seeing the transformation in confidence from the beginning of the day to the end of the day.
It’s about helping others, spending time, and combining efforts for the greater good. We all share this planet, so let’s take care of it together and help one another.
