Pierrette is from the beautiful, nature-filled province of New Brunswick where she spent most of her childhood exploring local forests.

Pierrette’s research with FOCI will focus on climate smart trees and urban forests as a potential nature-based climate solutions in coastal communities in Newfoundland.
