Moved Online: Life in the Treetops: Adventures of a Woman in the Field of Biology

Tree canopy

ASU's Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Earth Day with Wrigley SpeakerĀ Meg Lowman. Referred to as "the real-life Lorax" by National Geographic, she has dedicated three decades to the exploration of tree canopies and is one of the first pioneers in the field of treetop science.

In her talk, CanopyMeg will highlight her creative toolkit for whole-forest exploration and discuss how she applies her research to create sustainability practices on local and global scales, such as designing canopy walkways to encourage ecotourism for local income instead of logging.
