Seasonwatch - seasonal changes in trees in India and Trees for the Future

CPD hours or CEU points available

With Sayee Girdhari and Tony Kirkham

Trees are the mirrors of seasons and the environmental health of our neighbourhoods. Regular close observation of trees can not only give us immense joy and connect us to our habitat but also help build our understanding of the impact of climate change in our vicinity.

SeasonWatch is a citizen science project monitoring trees all over India to track climate change. This talk demonstrates the 'SeasonWatch' way of learning about and interacting with the trees around us.

Street Tree Survival in Philadelphia and Canopy Soils

With Levon Bigelow and Korena Mafune

February 2024

Street trees are important, highly visible components of the urban forest, providing ecosystem services (e.g., shade) directly to communities. Street tree mortality can result in a loss of ecosystem services for which the trees are planted, particularly premature mortality accelerated by local biophysical and human factors. My study involved a systematic, repeated inventory and mortality analysis of street tree populations in Philadelphia, PA.
