Davey Resource Group (DRG), a subsidiary of The Davey Tree Expert Company, has acquired LandStudies in Lititz, Pa., to its family of brands.
LandStudies has provided ecological restoration services, including watershed planning, stream and floodplain restoration, stormwater management and ecological landscape solutions to its clients in the eastern U.S. for 35 years with its team of 60 employees.
The acquisition was made by Wetland Studies and Solutions Inc. (WSSI), a Davey company based in Gainesville, Va. The LandStudies’ operation will retain its name as “LandStudies, a Davey company,” and its employees have become part of WSSI.
“LandStudies has always been driven by a mission to deliver meaningful, science-based solutions that improve water systems and landscapes,” said Mark Gutshall, who, along with Kelly Gutshall, co-founded LandStudies. “Joining WSSI and becoming part of Davey’s employee-owned culture allows us to continue that mission with expanded resources and a shared commitment to environmental excellence. We’re proud to take this next step with a team that values innovation, collaboration and long-term stewardship.”
Brian Chromey, vice president, WSSI, said, “We’re thrilled to welcome the entire LandStudies team to WSSI. Their practical, science-based approach to water management and restoration fits naturally with our own. We’re looking forward to working closely together and seeing how their experience and creativity help us all continue to grow and deliver the best results for our clients and communities.”
Davey Resource Group is a subsidiary of The Davey Tree Expert Company and offers environmental consulting work, including wetlands, restoration and stormwater management.
