Hey, #Alberta Folks, We're organizing a conference in #YEG to explore the intersection of trees and community. The one-day event showcases voices and emerging ideas from the urban forestry, arborist, nursery, gardening, and conservation communities. spokenloam.ca
Is it for arborists? Sure, but you'll also like it if you're a tree and garden nerd like me. We have an acoustic ecologist, forest bather, post-industrial arborist and inventor, tree equity advocate, and hunter of deadly shiny tree bugs. #AlbertaTrees #YEGevents #YEGgarden
Urban noise isn’t just annoying—it’s a threat to biodiversity. Acoustic ecologist Alex MacPhail uses bike-powered research to monitor how soundscapes shape wildlife in Edmonton. 🌿🔊 👉 spokenloam.ca/alex-macphai... #UrbanEcology #YEG #Biodiversity #AcousticEcology #SustainableCities
