FACULTY MEMBER RECEIVES AWARD FROM SEAFWA
TIFTON – Dr.
William Moore, assistant professor of wildlife technology at Abraham Baldwin
Agricultural College, was recently honored with an award for Best Wildlife
Paper Presentation by the Southeastern Association of Fish and Wildlife
Agencies (SEAFWA).
Moore
presented his research dissertation for his Ph. D. on wild turkeys at the
annual convention held in Corpus Christi, TX in October, 2008. All awards from the previous conference are
awarded the following year. This was Moore’s first time presenting for SEAFWA.
“I
had no idea that I had received the award,” Moore said. “When the plaque came in the mail, I was
trying to figure out what might be in the box. I was shocked and surprised to
see that it was an award from SEAFWA.”
SEAFWA
is made up of federal and state agencies, along with the Wildlife Society, the
international professional organization devoted to wildlife conservation and
education.
“I
have been more active with the Wildlife Society and have presented at the
National Wildlife Society conferences in Arizona in 2007 and in California in
2009,” Moore said.
The
Wildlife Society is a national organization that is divided by region and is
part of the SEAFWA conference.
Moore’s
educational background includes an Associate of Science degree from ABAC; his
Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Forest Resources from the University of
Georgia; and his Ph.D. in Forest Resources from Clemson University. He is also the current president of the
Georgia Chapter of The Wildlife Society.
