2018 The Garden Club of America Zone VI Fellowship in Urban Forestry
Danica Doroski is a PhD candidate at the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies. Her project uses data from recent tree plantings in cities across the US to evaluate tree diversity on a regional and national scale. While tree planting efforts have increased in recent years, information on them is often siloed by municipalities, making it challenging to identify national trends or make city-by-city comparisons. By working with municipalities and nonprofits, this project will help consolidate and synthesize data to illuminate patterns in species composition that can inform future tree planting projects and improve such programs nationwide.
