Looking it up

I was thinking,  Providence, yeah...
But, well, arboriculture is apparently not a very common program. So, as close as I can get is UMass Amherst.
I wrote and asked for information. I'm pretty excited about the program. It involves classes like Soils, Insects and Related forms, Landscape drafting, Plant science, The Environment and Society.... etc.. And it's a 2-year program. Involves an internship from April through August (you know what that means). One thing is, it's ll focused on urban settings, and I was thinking about more rural/forest settings in my dreams.
But is that realistic?
There's a school in Maine with a more rural feel, two of them, even, but I don't know if I can handle that kind of isolation. Actually, I know I can't. So. UMass Amherst, maybe. Single mom arboricultirism student, maybe.
Hopefully by then I will have stopped crying at random intervals for no apparent reason.

I'm off to have dinner with Jodi, and that makes life better.

There were tonnes of forestry engineering students at my old school. Is that similar? University of New Brunswick. It borders on Maine.

1999 i taught a grassroots organizing class at umass (uhhh... yeah, i've had a lot of jobs). i LOVED that area. rural. lots of queers. academic. cosmopolitan in a 'college town' way. lots of older lezzies. VERY progressive. judith moman lives out there. yes. yes. yes.

and the umass horticulture dept is AWESOME!!! lots of greenhouses.
