Lindsay Campbell, Social Scientist
- Ph.D., Rutgers University
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- Human geographers study how people interact with places. With my focus on nature and geography, I examine the relationships between humans and the environment. I’m particularly interested in the construction of nature in cities and the role of people and organizations in stewardship of the urban environment.
