Tour Davey Tree SEED Campus

If you peek into the transparent windows lining the SEED Campus laboratories, you might see hundreds of soil samples laid out in Petri dishes inside the Research Lab. They’re part of an urban soil study being conducted in campus research plots, where Davey Institute scientists are analyzing compacted soil’s chemical properties and density.

Next door in the Diagnostic Lab, you’ll find more soil — alongside leaf and water samples. They’re among the 3,100+ samples from client properties the team processes each year, testing for pests, disease, fertility, water quality, and more.

The work happening in our new, expanded labs underscores our 145-year commitment to science and research. Join us on April 14 as we get a behind-the-scenes look at this amazing facility, right in our own backyard.

Event includes tour, education, networking and refreshments.
