An international panel of butterfly experts is landing at the Warnell School next week to discuss the status of monarch butterfly populations in North America, and find ways to integrate and improve population monitoring programs.

Warnell headed to Tifton recently to attend the Natural Resources Conservation Workshop, sponsoring a lunch for the students and professionals teaching courses at the camp. The workshop, held at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, focused on Georgia’s natural resources — wildlife, forestry, soil and water and attracted high school students interested in conservation.

The Spring 2009 edition of The Log, Warnell’s biannual alumni magazine, is now available for download.

Dr. David Rizzo, one of the world’s experts on Sudden Oak Death, will be giving a talk on “Emerging plant diseases in natural ecosystems: biological invasions and microbial diversity” on Tuesday, May 19 at 3 p.m.

The Warnell School held its spring graduation ceremony on Saturday, May 9.

High school students in grades 10 through 12 could spend a week at the University of Georgia free of charge if chosen for two summer camp sessions that will focus on “test tube gardening.”

The Warnell School held its annual Spring Awards Banquet on April 16, 2009, awarding more than $100,000 in scholarships to pre-professional, professional, graduate and Ph.D. students. The school also announced several award winners at the banquet, which drew more than 230 people to the Georgia Center.
