Extension and Service

A past student, Dr. Jason Riddle, and I share the results of our research with private landowners, farm managers, and biologists during a field day.

From 1999 through 2008, I was an Extension Wildlife Specialist at North Carolina State University.  Below are some of the tangible products I produced while in extension, often in collaboration with others.  Although I no longer have a formal appointment in extension, I continue to participate in extension and outreach activities.
