Join canopymeg! missions

Meg has conceived of and led mission-oriented initiatives almost too numerous to name over her 40+ years as an arbornaut, leading forest canopy scientist, and conservationist.  As a principled person, Meg has used her personal and professional core values to guide this work.  These initiatives follow three themes which, together, represent her purpose:

  • explore, research, and conserve global forests
  • mentor the next generation (especially women and minorities) in sustainability and forest stewardship
  • educate diverse audiences through storytelling
