Growth Rings tells the story of the events that transpired leading to the employee acquisition of Davey Tree in 1979 and is based on interviews with more than 50 employees, including Davey’s most recent three chief executives Doug Cowan, Karl Warnke and Pat Covey, members of the Davey family, recorded interviews with former employees and retirees, information from company publications, and research from several historical archival collections. The story of Growth Rings starts in 1962, picking up where the book Green Leaves, originally published in 1977 as an early history of the Davey Company, ends chronologically. Growth Rings chronicles the success of the employee-ownership model at Davey and the company’s exponential growth following the employee acquisition through 2020.
