Basically I’m the arborist who consults on public tree plantings around my city. Usually members of the public want to plant trees at a school or park or wherever and I consult with them to navigate bureaucracy, select the proper species, and ensure the trees are correctly planted and cared for. I also end up managing a lot of the logistics and orders for volunteer plantings.

On the side I run a monitoring program to assess how the trees we plant are faring. I also try to lobby the various nurseries and tree orgs to use more climate ready species of tree, which is my real passion.
