As part of my postdoctoral research working with my academic supervisor, Dr. Cecil Konijnendijk van den Bosch, through the University of British Columbia, Department of Forest Resources Management, over the coming year we will be examining the role of women
in the fields of arboriculture and urban forestry. </span></font><font size="1"><span style="font-size:12px; font-weight:normal; text-transform:none"><br>
</span></font><font size="1"><span style="font-size:12px; font-weight:normal; text-transform:none"><br>
In recent years, we are seeing more young women embrace opportunities and pursue careers in the fields, both in practice and study. The objective of this research is to assess the current status of women’s participation in arboriculture and urban forestry,
with a focus on identity constructions and diversity; and to develop new models and tools for enhancing collaborative practice and transdisciplinary learning to increase participation by women in the industry. </span></font><font size="1"><span style="font-size:12px; font-weight:normal; text-transform:none"><br>
</span></font><font size="1"><span style="font-size:12px; font-weight:normal; text-transform:none"><br>
We are currently looking for women in these industries, in Canada and the United States, who are willing to share their experiences and insights by participating in this online survey. This will take no longer than 15 minutes of your time. All contact information you
supply during the survey will remain strictly confidential. All data will be collected using FluidSurveys. The version of FluidSurveys licensed to UBC is hosted in Canada and is fully compliant with section 30.1 of the BC Freedom of Information and Protection
of Privacy Act (FIPPA). Questions will deal with personal experiences as a woman working in urban forestry and/or arboriculture. The main study findings will be published in academic journal articles and through conference presentations.</span></font><font size="1"><span style="font-size:12px; font-weight:normal; text-transform:none"><br>
