<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">I am a Master of Forest Conservation (MFC) student at the Faculty of Forestry, University of Toronto. Under the guidance of Dr. Danijela Puric-Mladenovic
and Dr. Adrina C. Bardekjian, I am currently working on a research project about “Measuring the Footprint of Urban Forestry in Canada”. The project is funded by Tree Canada and Mitacs.</span></p>

is to evaluate the extent of urban forestry activities and its spatial distribution across Canada’s municipalities, and visualize the findings in the form of interactive maps. We have completed the first phase of data collection, which included capturing and
standardizing readily available web information related to urban forestry in Ontario. For more information regarding the project, please see the attached flyer.</span></p>

green systems, and community stewardship activities.</span></p>
