It was a rewarding night for forest and rangeland stewards at the Warner College of Natural Resources Awards banquet. Students, researchers and faculty across the Forest and Rangeland Stewardship Department received recognition for their contributions to our understanding of the natural resources under their care, and for supporting the development of stewards at many different points in their careers. It was a true Warner College community showing with colleagues, peers, family members and friends in attendance during this fittingly Earth Day celebration.
