Summary
What's an Urban Forester, you say? It's really cool: Georgia Seamans basically helps oversee the ecology of the nature in city parks — and in this case, it's a fairly major park in New York City. Who would've guessed you could live in one of the biggest concrete jungles in the world and be a forester?
I really loved my chat with Georgia... it kinda made me want to put on my khakis and hiking boots and follow her around for a day.
