#BLTrees: A Year in the Life (February)

The Brian Lehrer Show | Feb 14, 2022

We check in on our year-long project #BLTrees, following the seasons through the trees around us with Marielle Anzelone, urban botanist and ecologist and the founder of NYC Wildflower Week. This month, she's joined by Myla Aronson, professor in the Ecology, Evolution and Natural Resources department at Rutgers University, director of the Hutcheson Memorial Forest, one of the last remaining old growth forests in New Jersey, and co-director of Urban Biodiversity Research Coordination Network (UrBioNet) to talk about the urban forests and the differences between planted trees and wild growth, and why that distinction matters.
