Previous Research
Since graduate school, Jess has also been a researcher with the Bloomington Urban Forestry Research Group (BUFRG) at Indiana University. BUFRG studies urban forestry and urban ecosystems through the lens of social-ecological systems. For the past several years, BUFRG has been examining the social and ecological impact of the coproduction of the urban forest by nonprofit organizations and neighborhood groups in 5 U.S. cities (Atlanta, Detroit, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, and St. Louis), funded by a grant from the U.S. Forest Service National Urban and Community Advisory Council (NUCFAC; see project webpage here). Jess has continued this research at DePaul via the LUFA project on Motivations & Mechanisms of Neighborhood Tree Planting.

* What is a "Human Card"? Human Cards are a way of expressing our true humanity as whole people when we meet one another. The idea was created by my friend and colleague Gabriel Grant. For more information, see the Human Cards website.
