looking at forest restoration

Intro to forestry students dodged rain drops while measuring trees at the compartment 46 restoration experiment.

Soils and Cultivation

What better way to learn about soils than to get dirty in the garden. These shots are from Jan 19 as students made their way through some blackberry to prepare beds that will become their own during the semester.

Happy New Year

Best wishes for a productive new year to all you Snowdenites.

Seven inches fell on January 10, and the campus is very quiet right now.

Chris Hehmeyer teaches in Snowden

Chris Hehmeyer (C'77) visited us today and spoke to Scott Torreano's Decision Making class about futures trading in lumber and carbon trading in Chicago. Chris was brought back to Sewanee by the Babson Center for Global Commerce as the first Humphrey's Entrepreneur-in-residence.

Steverson Moffat visits Snowden

We were lucky to have Steverson Moffat (C'88) come visit us last week. He is now working on the Nantahala National Forest, and he drove over with his daughter for a day in class with Ken Smith's Intro students and Scott Torreano's NR Decision Making class. Steverson then gave a well attended talk about the USFS in the afternoon that was sandwiched around tornado sirens and heavy rain. Hopefully we will get him to come back soon since he is so close to Sewanee these days.
