Video segment from SNN about the problem with invasive reptiles locally, with footage from the recent Invasive Reptile Workshop organized by Dr. Lowman here in Sarasota.  TREE Foundation was a sponsor of the workshop and provided lunch for the scientists, educators, and students in attendance. Photos and videos of the workshop can be found here.

In 2007, Dr. Lowman was featured on the May 31st episode of A Gulf Coast Journal on PBS.  Here is that segment:

Treetop Traveler: Most of her career has been up in the air–and with good reason. Meg Lowman—a.k.a. Canopy Meg—is a pioneer tree canopy scientist. For 20 years, Meg has traveled the world climbing trees to study the health of our environment from above. Meet this amazing author, educator, adventurer and single mom who helped design Myakka River State Park’s scenic canopy walkway so others can see nature from her point of view.

ABC 7 News did a segment about Ricardo’s visit to Sarasota and the Earth Day festival in April 2008.  (Read more)

“CanopyMeg” Lowman has climbed thousands of trees over her thirty-year career as an arbornaut and canopy biologist. Meg’s undergraduate students at New College edited some of her numerous videos from television and educational programming, to create a synopsis of “best climbs”. Enjoy!

Charissa Jones, one of TREE Foundations first student research interns, recently graduated with a degree in environmental studies. Thanks for TREE Foundation support, Charissa has worked passionately in the field of environmental education, taking on local outreach with middle schools and extending her work nationally with the Ecological Society of America SEEDS program. Here is a short video from Charissa’s undergraduate thesis work, where she inspired local elementary students to engage in field biology through their search for Tardigrades, a cryptic yet common organism found on all continents. Congratulations, Charissa!
