We are excited to announce that effective September 26, 2007, Applied Environmental, LLC, has been acquired by the Davey Resource Group.  This new relationship allows us to join a company that shares our commitment to expertise, reputation and professionalism. Alicia Bever and I have joined the Natural Resource Consulting group at DRG. We look forward to continuing to provide you with personal service and a wide range of environmental consulting expertise.
