Case Study: Maryland Zoo achieves a safer, more accessible park with Davey Tree care

Maryland Zoo stays safe and accessible with Davey’s quarterly tree care and fourth-round Emerald Ash Borer treatments

The Maryland Zoo, a 135-acre public attraction in Baltimore, faces the challenge of maintaining a safe and accessible environment for visitors and staff amidst a large, natural park setting. To address tree hazards and pest threats like the Emerald Ash Borer, the zoo engaged Davey Tree for its commercial tree trimming and plant health care services.

Davey implemented a comprehensive solution including quarterly and post-storm tree walkthroughs for hazard reduction pruning and a multi-round treatment program for Emerald Ash Borer. Davey also conducted a full tree inventory and assisted with preservation planning during construction. The results are a safer, well-maintained park. Furthermore, Davey's partnership extends to community engagement, sponsoring zoo events while using the facility for training, reinforcing the zoo's role as an essential part of the Baltimore community.
