Conserving forest biodiversity in an age of humans. \nAbstract: Betts will summarize 18 years of research focused on how managing forests affects biodiversity across local\, landscape and global scales. He will address the broader question of how to satisfy global wood demand with the least cost to biodiversity and the climate. Specifically\, he will describe (1) his lab’s 15-year experiment focused on intensive forest management\, timber production and biodiversity\, (2) their long-term study on the role of forest structure (particularly old growth) in dampening the effects of climate change on bird populations\, and (3) the influence of forest loss and fragmentation on tropical biodiversity. This will be a participatory talk that requires some audience involvement. \nSpeaker Biography: Matthew Betts is a professor of wildlife and forest ecology in the Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society in the College of Forestry at Oregon State University\, where he has taught both undergraduates and graduates about forest biodiversity and management for 15 years. He has a Bachelor of Science and a doctorate from the Faculty of Forestry and Environmental Management at the University of New Brunswick in Canada\, and a postdoc (Biological Sciences) from Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. His research focuses on plant and animal responses to forest management activities at local\, regional and global scales. He is the lead investigator for the Oregon Intensive Forest Management Project\, lead scientist for the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Program and the director of the Oregon State University Forest Biodiversity Research Network. He is the author of over 150 peer-reviewed publications (including in the journals Science and Nature)\, and his work has been profiled in the New York Times\, Washington Post\, National Public Radio\, CBC\, National Geographic and Scientific American. His work is primarily funded by the National Institute for Food and Agriculture and the National Science Foundation. \n

SUMMARY:Tiger Giving Day 2026
DESCRIPTION:  \nTiger Giving Day is Auburn University’s 24-hour online fundraising event\nfocused on changing lives on campus\, in our communities\, and across the state.\nOn March 25\, make your gift and make change happen.\nSupport CFWE’s impactful projects this Tiger Giving Day!\n\nProtect Alabama’s Black Bear Population\nAuburn’s College of Forestry\, Wildlife and Environment will use GPS‑enabled collar cameras to study southern Alabama’s vulnerable black bear population\, capturing first‑of‑its‑kind video insights into maternal behavior and cub survival without disturbing the animals. This innovative research also provides Auburn students with field experience\, building practical skills that prepare them for careers in natural resource management and conservation. \nOn Tiger Giving Day\, the College of Forestry\, Wildlife and Environment is raising $20\,000 to purchase GPS collar cameras that will be placed on southern Alabama black bears for vital research of this vulnerable animal population in our state. In addition to enhancing black bear conservation efforts\, this technology will create impactful experiential learning for Auburn students. \nThe southern Alabama black bear is one of the smallest and most at-risk animal populations in North America\, and recent research shows an unusually low cub survival rate. To better understand the causes of these survival issues\, we will deploy GPS-enabled camera collars on female bears within the population. These collars capture short videos and pictures from the bear’s perspective throughout winter denning\, all without disturbing the bears! \nThis first-of-its-kind approach will provide new insights into maternal behavior and cub development\, helping us guide management and conservation efforts. This project also creates valuable field experiences for Auburn students. Through summer practicum and volunteer opportunities\, students assist with field research and data collection. \nThese experiences build real-world skills that make students more competitive for future natural resource careers. With your help\, we can protect Alabama’s black bears and empower the next generation of wildlife professionals. \n \nLaunch Forestry Drone Learning at Auburn\nAuburn’s College of Forestry\, Wildlife and Environment will integrate a multispectral teaching drone and professional analysis software into coursework\, giving students hands‑on experience with cutting‑edge tools used to assess forest health\, monitor wildlife habitats\, and inform natural resource management decisions. By embedding drone‑based learning into the curriculum\, the college will provide meaningful experiential opportunities that strengthen students’ technical skills\, confidence\, and career readiness. \nThis Tiger Giving Day\, the College of Forestry\, Wildlife and Environment (CFWE) is raising $11\,000 to take student learning to new heights by bringing innovative drone technology into the classroom and the field. With funds raised\, we will purchase a multispectral teaching drone and professional data analysis software. These powerful tools will be integrated into courses across CFWE majors\, giving students hands-on experience with technology that is rapidly transforming forestry\, wildlife conservation and natural resource management. \nUnlike standard cameras\, multispectral sensors collect data that can’t be seen with the human eye. Students can use this information to assess forest health\, track vegetation growth\, detect plant stress\, monitor wildlife habitats and make better informed management decisions. This kind of real-world data collection and analysis is increasingly relied upon by industry professionals. And now\, our students will be able to learn it firsthand. \nEmbedding drone-based learning into coursework creates meaningful opportunities that go beyond textbooks and lectures. Students will graduate with practical market-aligned skills that will strengthen their career readiness and help them stand out in a competitive job market. By supporting this project\, you are advancing CFWE’s commitment to innovative\, technology-driven education and putting state-of-the-art tools directly into student hands — expanding their skills\, confidence and career opportunities. \n \nVisit TigerGiving.org to support these impactful projects on March 25!

SUMMARY:Weaver Lecture & Reception
DESCRIPTION:Auburn University’s Weaver Lecture Series will present a talk by Julie Lockwood\, professor of ecology and interim director of the Rutgers Climate and Energy Institute at Rutgers University\, on Tuesday\, Feb. 27\, at 3:30 p.m.\, immediately followed by a reception at 4:30 p.m. at the College of Forestry\, Wildlife and Environment. \nWeaver Lecture Series Seminar \nLockwood’s lecture titled “Is biodiversity conservation in the midst of a technology revolution? How new tech and old-fashioned natural history combine for renewed hope” will provide an overview of technological tools that are transforming how we monitor biodiversity\, focusing on environmental DNA as a tool combining natural history\, molecular technology\, robotics and bioinformatics. \nThe Weaver Lecture Series was established in 1996 through an endowment provided by Earl H. and Sandra H. Weaver. The series brings individuals with expertise in forestry\, wildlife\, and the environment to the Auburn University campus to enhance the college’s academic programs through public lectures and interaction with faculty and students. \nThe lecture is open to the public and will take place on Tuesday\, Feb. 27\, at 3:30 p.m. at the Forestry\, Wildlife and Environment Building at Auburn University. Refreshments will be available at 3 p.m.\, and a reception will be held after the lecture at 4:30 p.m. \nTitle: Is biodiversity conservation in the midst of a technology revolution? How new tech and old-fashioned natural history combine for renewed hope. \nAbstract: The species with whom we share this Earth provide us with cultural\, economic\, aesthetic\, and health benefits. The loss of these species through extinction thus results in harm more broadly. Every global indicator is flashing red with evidence that we are in a global biodiversity crisis. The on-the-ground actions needed to halt this loss are well-known because the drivers of species loss are well-known. The challenge is implementing solutions at a scale that matches the problem and monitoring successes and failures in real time so that we avoid spending time and money on unhelpful actions.  If you have ever engaged in field-based efforts to track how a single species is responding to management actions\, then you know that the methods we have relied on for decades in biodiversity conservation will not scale to meet these challenges. Lockwood will provide an overview of technological tools transforming how we monitor biodiversity and how these tools interface with good old-fashioned natural history knowledge\, focusing on using environmental DNA as a tool combining natural history\, molecular technology\, robotics\, and bioinformatics for biodiversity monitoring. \nSpeaker Biography: A native of Atlanta\, Georgia\, Professor Julie Lockwood is interim director of the Rutgers Climate and Energy Institute and professor of ecology at Rutgers University. Her research centers on the prevention and management of invasive species\, the socio-ecological dynamics of the wildlife trade\, and the impacts of climate change and clean energy production on biodiversity. She is a Fellow of the Ecological Society of America and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. \n
