?? Ian Warr, a graduate student at the the University of Georgia Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources, and studying at the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory, has been awarded the Owen Fellowship by The Longleaf Alliance. The fellowship will support his MS research, which is focused on understanding belowground carbohydrate storage reserves across different longleaf pine life history stages. The Owen Fellowship is a prestigious program that helps develop the next generation of longleaf pine restoration professionals and researchers. Ian received $20,000 in funding to support his research and travel expenses to attend upcoming Longleaf Alliance meetings. This award is highly competitive and sought-after, with only one recipient every two years. Congratulations to Ian on this well-deserved achievement! #UGASREL #ecology #conservation #research #education #outreach #longleafalliance #UGA #restorelongleaf
