Join the Berkeley Wood Lab for "SilviCulture trees, wood & people," a group exhibition that invites visitors to imagine trees as active participants in complex ecosystems. The show opens Oct. 21 and runs through Oct. 25. Learn more: ourenvironment.berkeley.edu/…

A new @SciReports study by @Lauren_Stanton_ and researchers in the lab of Associate Professor @UrbanSchell finds that effort and exploration, not boldness, shape how raccoons, coyotes, and other urban carnivores respond to cities' unique challenges. ourenvironment.berkeley.edu/…

Professor Todd Dawson, who was not involved in the study, called it a "double whammy" since warmer oceans and drier air are making fog more sporadic—cutting redwoods off from a crucial source of moisture. vox.com/climate/504991/redwo…

Kristin Dobbin, with UC Cooperative Extension @UCBerkeley, who was not involved in the report, called the analysis “extremely important.” The finances behind drinking water are “not something we’ve had a big picture view on across the country before." insideclimatenews.org/news/0…

🌲What does it mean to care for a woodland under threat? In the Eastern Sierra, Indigenous-led monitoring linked long-term attention to place with ecological data, and a public survey gave insights on environmental responsibility @ESPM_Berkeley 📖 buff.ly/xWGSd80

New @ESPM_Berkeley research reveals a hidden carbon cycle in desert soils — one that could account for a surprisingly large share of the planet’s annual carbon exchange. bit.ly/4yXIbWe

Lynn Huntsinger, a professor at the graduate school, recently spoke to The New Yorker about how grazing animals like cows, sheep, and goats can enhance California's native biodiversity and reduce the risk of fires starting and continuing to burn. newyorker.com/news/annals-of…

Learn how ESPM associate adjunct professor @pgonzaleztweet's time spent in the Peace Corps in Senegal changed both his Berkeley research and his life. news.berkeley.edu/2026/09/09…
More UC Berkeley alums have joined the @PeaceCorps than from any other university. From helping defuse a civil war in Kyrgyzstan to improving local forestry in Senegal, they're putting what they learned on campus to work around the world. bit.ly/4d5dfe8

Where does CA’s water go & how could climate change reshape its future? UC researchers, including UC ANR experts, helped develop a new tool that lets Californians explore how water management decisions could affect farms, cities & ecosystems. @ucanrwater ucanr.edu/blog/green-blog/ar…

What if the key to saving endangered giant sequoias is restoring a relationship they evolved with thousands of years ago? A new study from our forestry experts found that prescribed fire and fuel-reduction treatments cut giant sequoia mortality by more than half during the 2020 Castle Fire, supporting the role of frequent, low-intensity fire in keeping these forests healthy.
