My research, based on the principles and methods of environmental psychology, has explored public preference, perception, and behavior concerning urban forestry and green infrastructure. Recent work has turned to a focus on human health and wellness. I also work to translate evidence about nature benefits to local government policy and planning. I’ve enjoyed doing this work for decades and appreciated the invitations to share knowledge across the United States, as well as at events in Australia, Japan, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Canada, England, Scotland, Hong Kong/China, Sweden, Norway, and Russia.
