RNR Alum Named Fellow of SAF

Brian Chandler

(09/06/16) BATON ROUGE, La. – Brian Chandler, the LSU AgCenter area forestry agent for southeast Louisiana and RNR Alumnus (MS Forestry - 1978), has been named a fellow of the Society of American Foresters.

Fellow awards recognize Society of American Foresters members who have provided several years of leadership and service to the industry at the local, state and national levels. New fellows are recognized at local and state society meetings as well as at the society’s national convention.

Chandler is one of 23 fellows selected this year. Based at the AgCenter Bob R. Jones-Idlewild Research Station in Clinton, Chandler coordinates a number of forestry industry meetings and lends his expertise to many, including landowners, various organizations and 4-H youth.

“Brian is so deserving of this award,” said Regina Bracy, director of the LSU AgCenter Southeast Region. “To be recognized by the society of forestry professionals is a testament to the excellence of Brian’s programming, his service to the forestry industry and the respect the forestry professionals have for Brian.” [writer: Olivia McClure, omcclure@agcenter.lsu.edu, LSU AgCenter]

RNR Grads Featured in Audubon Magazine

RNR Alumni in African ResearchThe international conservation work of three RNR graduates was featured on the cover of the Summer 2016 Audubon magazine. Jared Wolfe and Luke Powell (former students of Dr. Phil Stouffer), and Kristin Brzeski (former student of Dr. Sabrina Taylor)are doing collaborative research and expeditionary work in the small central African country of Equatorial Guinea – (according to Jared) arguably the country least known to science. The feature article, with "amazing photos" is availabe here. A recent LSU Biology undergraduate, Jacob Cooper, is also using his experiences in undergraduate research programs to contribute to the study.
