In this Middletown Press article, Megan Joseph from Davey's Hamden office talks about how recent climate and habitat changes have caused stress on Connecticut's trees.

A combination of changed climate patterns, new diseases, invasive insects and extreme weather events, coupled with the continued loss of habitat, have left trees stressed, damaged and "just plain confused," said arborist Megan Joseph of Davey Tree in Hamden.
"Trees are used to rhythm," she said. "With the seasons getting mushier and warmer, they have been struggling."
"The weather patterns come in big waves, where we have a whole bunch of rain all at once and then the warming temperatures. The trees are stressed," Joseph said.
