Rachel and Mark are funded!

Rachel Zitomer and Mark Kerstens both received grant funding to support their graduate research. Rachel's award is from the American Museum of Natural History and is focused on evaluating the ecology of native pollinators in managed coniferous forest landscapes, whereas Mark received awards from the Association for Field Ornithologists, the Animal Behavior Society, and the Klamath Basin Audubon Society which will be used as part of his study examining how juvenile Black-backed Woodpeckers disperse in a burned-unburned forest mosaic. Well done!
