Our recent #research study shows that increasing #urban #trees #forest may increase #public #resident satisfaction with them, and suggests alternative #metrics #Social #Impact #effects in #nature based solutions. @Nature_NPJ https://t.co/WX7JvyjLgK

So proud to say I have graduated from @sheffielduni as a Master of Environmental Science with a first class honours, and awarded the Laverick-Webster-Hewitt prize for my research project involving @urbantreeobs. Big thank you to the best supervisors @DrHollyCroft @sheffield_dust

I kept this quiet for a while, not keen on blowing my own trumpet really. Anyway, here it is... I'm now a full professor in remote sensing. It feels important to say this to make visible that this is possible for women in my field.

The trees are getting ready to perform one of nature’s greatest magic tricks 🪄🤹🏼 Their leaf buds are tiny bundles of colour, all packed full of the promise of spring, and a wonderful source of winter joy 🙏

Had great fun setting up one of our citizen science urban community forest sites.

Different urban forestry perspectives compare how unique objectives, methods, and tech are employed around the world Ian Hanou, Russell Horsey, David Syvier, & Cecil Konijnendijk, will discuss urban forest management in their regions and around the world. https://t.co/QrwUiugs7p

@mdekauwe82 @DrHollyCroft @pps @jilledmondson25 We’ve not really had any issues so far (they’ve been for up a couple of years). - They’re installed quite high so it’d be difficult to tamper with them without pre-planning. A couple have been hit by buses though!
