What can a 170-year-old tree tell us about the future of a forest? 🌳

This summer, Biology major Lydia Altman ’27 is finding out.

Through a grant-funded research project, Lydia is exploring tree diversity and forest growth in the Saint Michael’s Natural Area while also documenting where invasive species like Buckthorn spread.

She’s not just studying biology. She’s doing the work of a researcher, making discoveries and gaining experience that will prepare her for her career.
