September 4, 2025; Linamar Corporation’s (TSX:LNR) Skyjack division is proudly supporting the conservation and research efforts of The Arboretum at the University of Guelph as they complete their annual fall tree seed harvest and host their Arboretum Expo on Saturday, September 6, 2025. Skyjack has been a long-time supporter of The Arboretum, which encompasses 400 acres featuring plant collections, gardens, walking trails, natural woodlands, wetlands, and meadows. 

Using an SJ86 T telescopic boom lift, on loan from Skyjack, The Arboretum collects seeds for research, for the continued development of the grounds, and to aid in the archiving of threatened woody plants. 

As a Silver Maple sponsor, Skyjack is also supporting the annual Arboretum Expo: Tree Day & Plant Sale, which is taking place on Saturday, September 6, 2025. This family-friendly event will connect people to nature with hikes, music, workshops, activities, and food trucks.
