Dr. Meg Graham MacLean
I am passionate about collaborating with forestry, environmental, and community leaders at all levels to better understand the human-environment interactions that impact our forest ecosystems. As a researcher, my work uses novel quantitative methods to explore how the forested landscape is changing due to human and climate pressures, as well as how to monitor and model these changes using a biogeographical approach with the goal of informing policy and management decisions. Please see my research page or publications page for current projects and publications.
I currently am a Senior Lecturer of Quantitative Ecology at the University of Massachusetts - Amherst teaching novel quantitative methods to both undergraduates and graduate students, as well as researching how human management responses to forest disturbances impact the future forests of New England.

Audrey Kissin (NRC '24) - Audrey was a Natural Resources and Conservation and Honors College undergraduate student working on her thesis studying the gender gap in Forestry and how to increase the recruitment and retention of femme-identifying individuals in Forestry. She helped found the Femmes in Forestry group at UMass!
Seraina Rioult-Pedotti (NRC '24) - Seraina worked with Asha Ajmani on fish population dynamics in Indigenous fisheries, primarily in the Northwest territories.
Amber Madeiras (NRC '24) - Amber was a CAFE scholar with the lab in the summer of 2023 working with Taylor Lucey on measuring wood decay in hemlock trees at Harvard Forest.
Maggie Doyle (NRC '22) - Maggie worked on studying the leakage potential of different forest management techniques through gathering information on imports and exports of harvested wood products.
Lucas Ghilardi (NRC '21) - Lucas was a Honors College undergraduate student working on evaluating the long term significance of using adaptive forest management techniques when managing in response to invasive insects like hemlock woolly adelgid and emerald ash borer.
