Urban ecology and education for a greener world
Hello! I’m Dr. Allyson Salisbury, an environmental scientist and urban ecologist who studies how trees and other plants grow in the built environment. My research helps us understand how to help trees grow better in less than ideal conditions so we can create greener places for people to live, work, and play. Through teaching courses for adult learners and continuing education, I also work to get environmental and ecological knowledge into the hands of people who manage and care for urban plants. And as a consulting scientist, I draw on my own research experience to provide clients with high quality data organization and management, data analysis, and scientific writing services.
