Shackelford is presenting the final seminar for natural resources of the west, a lecture series organized by CMU Professor Tamera Minnick.
“Bringing leading global researchers to campus is what this series is all about,” said Minnick. “Dr. Shackelford is a critical voice in the restoration research field and we are lucky to have her on campus.”
Members of the public interested in her research and observations are welcome to attend the seminar.
