Above, you can:
Learn about my research at Kenyon College (VAM in aquatic plants) and my dissertation research at Michigan State University (Tsuga canadensis and Betula allegheniensis seedling establishment and survival on decaying wood and soil in Upper Michigan),
read about my current work for The Nature Conservancy in Massachusetts,
or download my curriculum vita in pdf format.Land I had a small role in protecting includes Hilltown Land Trust's Conwell Preserve, the Blandford CrossPike Connector, and the first several "working forest easements" protected by The Nature Conservancy in Massachusetts. However, I have accepted that what I may be best known for online is a video I made back in 2008 as a brand new Nature Conservancy staff member. Forest Carbon 101 has had a life of its own, included as part of the MD 10th grade chemistry curriculum in some schools, and embedded in a more recent video featuring my colleague Trish Johnson.
My proudest achievement is the family I built with my late husband, Robert Edge, including our two amazing children. To contact me, send an email to massachusetts_atsign_tnc_dot_org.
