One of the world’s first arbornauts, Canopy Meg devoted over 4 decades to exploring forest canopies. Her research and exploration have taken her to 40+ countries, where she not only tirelessly saves forests but also mentors girls. She has published over 200 research publications. Her work has appeared in National Geographic, Wired, Popular Science, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, (and many others); and her first book (of ten) received a cover feature in the New York Times Sunday Book Review. Meg has won numerous awards, including the prestigious Explorers Medal from The Explorers Club, Garden Club of America’s Margaret Douglas Medal for conservation education, Ecological Society’s Odum Award for Education, the Tällberg Foundation’s Global Leadership Prize. Her recent successes include partnering to build a canopy walkway in Malaysia which led to designation as a UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Reserve site, working with Coptic priests in Ethiopia to save their last remaining forests, and speaking to > 3 million kids each year about trees. The Arbornaut (2021, Farrar, Straus & Giroux), a memoir of her adventures, is a best-seller!
