About
2024 Update:
As of this year, I have transitioned into a full-time position at the Yale Forests, and am no longer taking on new independent consulting work. I am still happy to hear from you, however, and will do my best to connect you with other consulting forester and/or botanists.
Laura Green is a botanist and forester based in the “Quiet Corner” of northeastern CT and northwestern RI. She received her Master of Forestry from the Yale School of the Environment and is a Connecticut licensed forester.
Laura has over eight years of experience working in the woods, fields, and swamps of southern New England and New York. An avid field botanist, she currently serves on the council of the New England Botanical Society.
Raised in the oak-pine woods of eastern Massachusetts, Laura is driven by a love of plants of all sizes and a deep appreciation for the enduring connections between people and their landscapes.
