Heather Brown
Undergrad Researcher
I am studying the health and composition of ash trees across forest and non forested landscapes across the Mont Saint-Hilaire Biosphere Reserve. While the native ash have been decimated by the invasive emerald ash borer, I hope to understand how and which management strategies and ecology may help the surviving ash trees.
