Green Spaces in Dense Places: A Nebraska Forester in Hong Kong

On Jan. 8, join us for “Green Spaces in Dense Places – A Nebraska Forester in Hong Kong!” Community Forester Graham Herbst will share his adventure on the other side of the planet, exploring one of the most populated cities in the world during a tumultuous time. Aside from all the cultural differences, Hong Kong has a population density over six times greater than Omaha, which creates unique challenges and opportunities in green space management and wildlife habitat. Graham will share his experience with urban park space, prominent tree species, island wildlife, and Hong Kong’s historic stone wall trees.

Graham Herbst is the Community Forester for Eastern Nebraska with the Nebraska Forest Service and a Board Certified Master Arborist. He is a Nebraska native who brings creativity and passion to his role promoting proactive urban forest management. Graham holds a BSc in Horticulture (UNL) and a MS in Urban Studies (UNO).
