Christina Silk has recently completed a Masters in Philosophy through the Faculty of the Built Environment, University of New South Wales. Her research was borne out of 25 years of observations while working in horticulture and landscape architecture and is focused on the interface between, and requirements, of grey infrastructure and street trees. The research furthers the collective knowledge of street trees and predicts the likelihood of achieving the policy aspirations of State and Local Governments.
