Speaker Meg Lowman

AN ENGAGING CANOPY STORYTELLER

Meg Lowman is well-known across the globe as an inspiring, motivating, fun, and educational speaker.  Renowned internationally as a pioneer in the field of forest canopy research ecology, she is an arbornaut who scales the treetops for research and conversation (and for sheer love of the treetops and all that lives in them).  Her superpower as a speaker is found in her humorous, lively storytelling and in her ability to make complex science and conservation ideas easily understandable to a wide variety of audiences. 

Whether speaking in person or virtually, Meg connects to audiences across what she calls the "K through Gray" spectrum -- meaning just about everyone.

Regularly engaged to participate in conservation and educational webinars and panel discussions, Meg is also frequently tapped to participate in international conferences (such as co-chairing the education symposium of the 2021 International Canopy Conference).

Meg is equally thrilled to present to corporations and nonprofits as she is to speak to grade school and high school classrooms, associations such as the UN Women USA, alumni groups, scientists, citizen scientists, and colleges and universities.

CHRONICLING AND EXPANDING SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE

Meg Lowman is the author/co-author of nine books and over 150 scientific publications, including all major forest canopy textbooks.  Her much-anticipated memoir, The Arbornaut (Farrar, Straus and Giroux /August 2021) details her adventures of a lifetime spent exploring the eighth continent (the treetops of forests across nearly all the continents). Click “learn more” on any of the book cover images below for more information on any of Meg’s books, including links to purchase.

The Arbornaut

An engrossing memoir of CanopyMeg's life in the treetops, and her lifelong commitment to conserving trees and all that lives in them. Her story is an inspiring look at the experiences of an intrepid female scientist -- one of the world's first "abornauts" -- who became a foremost authority on canopy tree science.
