2023 The Keller Scholarship in Conservation Horticulture
Evaluation of Cornell Botanic Gardens Current Holdings of the Class of 1901 Nut Tree Collection in the F.R. Newman Arboretum
Colucci seeks to develop a curatorial plan for future development of Cornell’s Class of 1901 Nut Tree Collection. Collaborating with Cornell Botanic Garden’s Director of Horticulture and experts from the Liberty Hyde Bailey Hortorium and the New York Nut Growers Association, Colucci’s research will include climate change, biological significance, vulnerability, and resiliency. Data will increase conservation and research value of the collection, improve educational opportunities, and pave the way for accreditation through the American Public Gardens Association Plant Collections Network.
