Beyond caring for the green spaces and the trees that clean our air, Davey is committed to being a force for good in the industry. We’ve been pioneering new techniques, engaging in research, and training a highly skilled workforce since our founding – and with the opening of the SEED Campus, we’re taking that commitment to the next level.

At our grand opening on Aug. 15, around 300 guests celebrated this vision for the future. We asked, “What impact will the SEED Campus have?” and heard answers about promoting careers in arboriculture, fueling economic activity in the region, sparking new scientific research, and more.

Hear from community leaders, project partners, and Davey employees in the video below:

About The SEED Campus

The Davey Tree SEED (Science, Employee Education, and Development) Campus, the almost 200-acre property that formerly housed the Oak Knolls golf course and Franklin Elementary School on State Route 43 in Kent, Ohio, will be the new home to specialized training and research facilities for The Davey Tree Expert Company. The science and learning campus is being designed to ensure that Davey continues to attract and retain the most qualified, well-trained, and engaged employees possible.
