"Working with Christine at Fair Forests was both professional and enjoyable. Developing the training I requested for my organization was very collaborative and we were able to work together on the agenda, activities, and workshop outline to really tailor the training to our vision and needs. She met all deadlines while providing ample opportunities for review and feedback and communication was prompt and clear throughout the process. Our organization walked away with great information and the ability to put new resources and ways of thinking into practice. Overall, the training was very valuable and the process of working together could not have been easier."

 "The focus of Fair Forest's consulting aligns directly with our organization's mission making the training extremely relevant to our board and staff. Christine provided clear, practical information that we could easily put into practice."

"Christine doesn't come in with a "set" program, rather she listens first, adjusts and shares in an appropriate manner."

"I appreciated Dr. Carmichael's approach and how she was able to help us see our work through an equity lens, making our end product significantly more beneficial to our community and the greater goal of growing an equitable urban forest."

--Municipal Forester

"Christine provided insightful feedback that often was accompanied with examples. This made her comments easy to understand. She never judged based on a lack of knowledge from our team. Her recommendations helped us create a better urban forest management plan." 

--Tiffany Giacobazzi, Urban Forestry & Natural Resources Planning Coordinator, City of Ann Arbor, Michigan.

"American Forests is proud to have followed through on many of Dr. Christine Carmichael’s thoughtful recommendations from her study through our place-based partnerships work and through Vibrant Cities Lab, our online tool for planning resilient urban forests." 

--Sarah Anderson, Senior Manager of Tree Equity Programs, American Forests

"Dr. Carmichael hit a home run with her presentations at the 2019 Minnesota Shade Tree Short Course! Maybe two or three home runs. Her evaluation score was 3.53/4.0, an atmosphere rarely entered by any of our session speakers."
