Housed in a purpose-built facility, it offers employees hands-on learning opportunities that span the company’s residential, commercial, environmental and utility service lines.

The campus features innovative training tools such as a metal climbing structure, non-energized utility poles, state-of-the-art laboratories and outdoor research areas. Beyond employee development, the campus also serves as a community hub, with plans to open its arboretum and green spaces for public education and events.

Jill Rebuck, senior project manager in corporate communications, shared her thoughts.

“The SEED Campus is the first place in the green industry where all of Davey’s service lines — residential, commercial, environmental and utility — can train together,” Rebuck said. “We wanted to create a unified space where every employee has access to top-tier, hands-on training.”
