Forest Management student Lucas McCabe, of Greenville, Ohio was recently awarded a $1,000 Davey Foundation Arbor Grant from The Davey Tree Expert Company. The award was presented to McCabe on December 11, 2013 at the Hocking College School of Natural Resources by Mark Noark, Davey Tree Recruiter/Trainer.

Headquartered in Kent, Ohio, The Davey Tree Expert Company is the nation's largest full-service tree care provider in the United States and Canada, with more than 7,500 employees.  John Davey, who emigrated from England, started the Davey Company in 1880. Today, Davey has become one of the most influential employee owned companies in the country with a rank of eighteenth out of the top 100 employee owned companies with revenues over 700 million dollars.

As the company continues to grow, the need for an educated work force has become a mandatory initiative.

"Hocking College has consistently produced top talent for the Davey Tree Expert Company. In addition, our legacy to provide incentive and financial assistance for students and interns from Hocking College has become a long-standing commitment," Noark said.
