Saluting Branches Day of Service
More than 80 arborists from Bartlett Tree Experts local offices donated a day of tree work at veterans’ cemeteries across the United States to honor America’s military service men and women during the 10th annual Saluting Branches Day of Service.
Bartlett arborists from 18 local offices volunteered their time to benefit the largest single-day volunteer event in the tree care industry. In addition to donating their time and expertise to safely provide scientific tree care services at 17 national and state veterans cemeteries and properties, Bartlett made a financial donation to Saluting Branches as a partner-level sponsor for the successful Day of Service.
Jim Ingram, president and COO of Bartlett Tree Experts said, “We appreciate the opportunity to make a difference in the communities we serve through our sponsorship and support of Saluting Branches. We are honored to pay tribute to America’s brave service men and women by donating our expertise and time doing what we do best, providing scientific tree care to enhance the safety and beauty of trees on these hallowed sites.”
Saluting Branches was created by Rainbow Tree Care in 2015 and is now a non-profit organization dedicated to recognizing and honoring veterans. The organization’s President, Renee Bissett said, “This 10th Annual Day of Service is more than just a milestone — it’s a reflection of the commitment of those who believe in the mission of Saluting Branches. Together, we’ve made a lasting impact on the properties dedicated to those who served our country, and we’re just getting started.”
During this year’s Saluting Branches Day of Service, held on September 18, Bartlett arborists performed tree care services that included pruning, root collar excavations and tree inspections for hazards.
