Fellows

While the Center for Tree Science has a powerful team of scientists working on a broad range of topics, we can’t do it alone. In order to amplify our efforts, we have established a proposal-based Fellowship program for professionals and students of all kinds to collaborate and contribute to tree science. From high school students to senior scientists, we view these fellowships as a vital way to provide enlightening opportunities and synergistic advances that are mutually beneficial for the Fellow, our staff, and our mission to study trees.
