My job is to help landowners in the NYC watershed connect with their woodlots so they can better understand the roles forests play in keeping water clean. Since forests are dynamic and always changing, a lot of my work comes seasonally and varies day to day.

I am the Forestry Program Research and Evaluation Specialist. My main role is to do research that provides insights about the reach and effectiveness of various WAC Forestry Program components, such as sharing the cost of implementing BMPs with loggers or helping them to track their harvesting costs.

My favorite MWL Interest is Recreation. I don’t actually own any wooded acreage, but I enjoy hiking, horseback riding, snowshoeing, and riding 4-wheelers on woodland belonging to friends and state land.
