Kudos to Arboretum Committee member Michael Amato for his feature in the 2026 issue of ‘Wilder Times’.

This annual magazine published by @umasslarp celebrates its students, faculty, and alumni who are using design and planning to foster hope for a more resilient future. The interview covers Michael’s efforts to raise awareness of the value of campus trees and the biodiversity they support, alongside @umass_eco PhD Students Stella Dee and Aliza Fassler, the Arboretum and Bee Campus Committees, and the dedicated staff of UMass Grounds. Check the link in our bio to check out the full publication! 📖

Have you visited the ODB Rooftop Garden yet this semester?

This campus hidden gem is more than a quiet place to relax, catch up on homework, or read a good book. It’s an urban oasis of biodiversity! Since its establishment in 2017, this garden has evolved into a dynamic space where herbaceous plants like goldenrod, milkweed, and native asters seed themselves into the landscape and consistently reshape the species composition one year to the next. If you look closely, you’ll spot pollinators like the common eastern bumblebee featured in this post visiting these flowers, and grasshoppers gliding through the underbrush. Stop by this week to be serenaded by the sound of tree crickets and other late-summer stridulating insects. 🦗

On October 5, 1972, a group of Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning (LARP) graduate students published the first issue of a new department newsletter, Wilder Times. Earlier this week our partners from LARP revived Wilder Times as a new magazine that celebrates our students, faculty, and alumni who are using design and planning to foster hope in a more resilient future.

Check the link in our bio to connect with stories from graduate students and alumni including Michael Amato, MLA '24, now a PhD Planning Student, Maitri Chandrashekar, BSSCD '26 and now an MRP student, Liz Helmin, MLA '26, Lee Halasz, MRP '22, and many more.
