Philip Ronald is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Manitoba. His academic pursuits focus on the protection of large mature trees and the development of strategies for in-planting diversity within urban environments. His interests are anchored in the significance of large trees in enhancing the green infrastructure of cities, as they provide essential ecological services that contrast with grey infrastructure. Ronald advocates for improved methods of tree valuation and civic protection, recognizing the critical role that trees play in urban landscapes. His research emphasizes the preservation of mature tree canopies and the planting of new tree species in underutilized urban spaces, particularly riparian areas. By exploring novel techniques in site preparation and tree establishment, he aims to ensure the long-term survival of urban tree plantings. His ongoing projects include efforts to revitalize green corridors in cities and developing new strategies for tree planting in response to the impending loss of large, mature street trees. Through innovative approaches and partnerships, he strives to enhance the urban canopy cover and foster resilience in urban forestry management.
