UofL is excited to welcome to campus, Dr. Geoffrey (Geof) Donovan, a nationally recognized environmental economist and former Senior Scientist with the USDA Forest Service.
His research has helped shape how cities understand trees as critical public-health infrastructure. Dr. Donovan will be visiting the University of Louisville to share insights from his work linking urban tree canopy to physical health and community well-being. Learn more about Dr. Donovan's work.
