Hey everyone! My name is Chelsea Lowes, and
I’m very excited to be chosen as this year’s Street Tree Project coordinator!
I’m a born and raised Hamiltonian who
decided to stay in the city I love and pursue a degree in Health Studies and
Gerontology at McMaster University. Though I will always come to Hamilton’s
defence, there is always room for improvement! The city essentially offers the
best of both worlds, with unlimited natural, and urban scenery to enjoy. But
why keep them separate?
My current education consistently shows how
impactful social factors can be on one’s health. I am particularly interested
in the role the environment takes. The Street Tree Project not only allows me
to pursue this interest, but also provides me with the opportunity to create
meaningful change in a community where I can continue to observe the benefits
both on and off the job.
This year we will be focusing on the
Homeside neighbourhood, just east of Kenilworth Street. I’m very much looking
forward to getting started on this years project and working alongside this
community, towards a greener city. Initiatives
to make Hamilton more environmentally friendly are stronger and more plentiful
than ever, and I’m excited to be a part of it all.
