Building on 18 years of outstanding service and dedication I am pleased to announce the appointment of Robert (Rob) Gray as Horticultural Technologist for the Humber Arboretum, effective May 18, 2015.

Rob first joined Humber in 1998 as a workstudy student in the Humber Arboretum while completing Humber’s Urban Arboriculture Certificate. Shortly thereafter, in 2002, Rob became an Instructor for the School of Applied Technology’s Horticulture Apprenticeship and Landscape Technician programs and later became the Program Co-ordinator. In Rob’s most recent position as a Horticulture Technician and Arborist at the Humber Arboretum he has played an instrumental role facilitating and coordinating experiential learning course components as well as applied research and capstone projects in the Arboretum from over seven different Humber programs. Rob will be building on this experience in his new role as the most senior member of the Arboretum’s landscape team.

One little known fact about Rob is that prior to working at Humber he was Captain of Canada’s Men’s Softball Team. His well-developed combination of leadership, organizational and teamwork skills are an ongoing asset to Humber’s team.

Rob holds a Horticulture Diploma from the University of Guelph and is an ISA Certified Arborist. Rob reports to Alexandra (Alix) Link, Director, Humber Arboretum & Centre for Urban Ecology. Please join me in congratulating Rob Gray on his new role!
