WAA Day of Service

WAA members have a long history of volunteerism and in 2008 initiated an organized volunteer Day of Service as another opportunity for members to join forces and assist in worthy projects.

WAA's Day of Service provides necessary resources to communities or organizations in need of the skills, talent, and equipment that our members are able to provide. Past projects have included clearing invasive species, providing pruning services, and performing tree removal. WAA is now accepting applications for the 2012 WAA Day of Service. If you would like to volunteer, or have any questions regarding WAA's Day of Service, please contact Eric Petersen.

The 2011 WAA Day of Service Project was awarded to Woods National Cemetery, Milwaukee. The project included overall tree preservation in this national landmark. Thirty-two WAA Members from eleven companies performed active duty by removing seven dead trees and providing crown cleaning on sixty trees. Thanks to all WAA Volunteers who supported this effort with their time, talent, and equipment! See our photo gallery or go to: http://www.fox6now.com/witi-20110316-tree-trimming-wood,0,6517961.story

The 2010 Day of Service was awarded to the City of Muskego, please read the following.

Greetings,

The City of Muskego is very grateful for the Day of Service that WAA members provided last Wednesday at Engel Conservation Area in Muskego. With your valuable work in the removal of potential hazard trees and branches park patrons can more safely enjoy hiking the nature trails. It is remarkable that Wisconsin Arborist Association provides this generous volunteer service to the community and is evidence that WAA is truly a class organization.

Thanks again!
