I’ve got trees
on the brain.

In particular, people’s relationships with them.

I also write about the birding life of cities, and how birds connect people and places.

Here’s what to expect from me

• Occasional musings about urban nature (sometimes I’m on a soapbox about access, use, and control of greenspaces)

• Essays and stories published elsewhere

• Speaking events

Dive right in

• NYC’s only living landmark is part of Hattie Carthan’s life’s work

• Four ways to cultivate your patch birding practice aka noticing birds in a dedicated spot

Let’s work together

Hire me to speak about trees in cities.

I can design an outdoor program for your colleagues or staff. Let’s take a closer look at plants and what phase they’re in.

Tune in

Share your bird story with me.

I host the Your Bird Story podcast, part of the Local Nature Lab organization.
