2008 CityRoots Photo Journal now available!

UEI is excited to introduce the 2008 CityRoots Photo Journal, highlighting the hard work of over 180 dedicated community volunteers belonging to 11 neighborhood ecological restoration projects across the Boston area.

Over the course of the summer, 78 trees and close to 200 shrubs and perennials were proudly added to the Boston landscape, contributing to UEI's mission of building healthy, vibrant cities.

Congratulations to all our participants - 2008 was the most successful year in CityRoots history! See you in 2009!

Interim Sustainable Cities Division Director


John received his Masters of Science in Environmental Monitoring from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1997 and his Bachelor of Arts in Archaeological Sciences and Anthropology from Boston University in 1992. John arrived at UEI in November 2006 after a stint in the private sector working on image processing software development. He has spent over six years working in Latin America and the Caribbean region applying spatial technologies to natural resource management, natural hazard mapping, vulnerability assessment and risk analysis, municipal development and planning. He has worked for the United Nations Environment Programme, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance, among others. He is pleased to be back in his hometown applying these technologies to more familiar (albeit much colder) places.
