joined forces with Dr. Cecil Konijnendijk
in the Department of Forest Resources
Management of the University of British
Columbia in Vancouver, BC. Konijnendijk
came to UBC in 2016 to teach urban for-
estry courses, develop the Master of Urban

forestry courses, including Arboriculture
Principles and Practice, and Ecology of Urban
Green Infrastructure; she directs the under-

is developing her research lab, tentatively
