In this Detroit Public Radio article, Davey Resource Group (DRG), a subsidiary of The Davey Tree Expert Company, is mentioned as a partner in Hamtramck's grant-funded urban forestry project to grow the city's tree canopy coverage in the city.
The Grow Hamtramck program in the city of Hamtramck is hoping to plant a thousand trees in four years.
Community and Economic Development Director for the City of Hamtramck Isabel Allaway says it’s a part of a grant-funded urban forestry project to increase the city’s tree canopy and increase shade in the densest city in Michigan. 
“We did some inventory in 2019 to determine what available public planting spaces there were in our city, and we pursued this grant funding and were awarded it after we found over 1,200 available planting spaces at that time,” she says.
Allaway says the city works with an arborist team and the Davey Resource Group, the urban forestry program coordinator for this project, to determine which trees should or should not be planted in the city.
“We want to make sure that we’re maintaining species diversity and that we’re not planting too many trees of the same variety in close proximity to each other to maintain the health of the urban tree canopy,” she says.
