Donate to the Lab

Your financial contribution can help our lab conduct important research on conservation of wildlife and natural resources in intesively farmed landscapes. Your gift can be used for the purchase of new, leading equipment like radio telemetry collars or acoustic monitors or fund field technicians to help carry out research.

We believe that just doing research isn't enough -- we have to use that research to make real changes on the ground. At the AWESM Lab, we work hard to make our research accessible and available to those who will benefit from it. This includes field days for agricultural producers, making results available for policymakers, and sharing our findings broadly through our social media and other outlets. Your financial contribution can help us make sure our research is reaching the right people to make real changes.

At the AWESM Lab, most of our research is conducted by and with the help of graduate students. Your financial contribution can help fund opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students to design and execute important research, gain invaluable skills, and become the next generation of wildlife and conservation scientists for Nebraska and beyond.

Your gift can help fund the ongoing production of our podcast, WildAg, which brings together scientists and conservationists with Nebraska landowners and producers to talk about the opportunities and challenges that we face in integrating conservation with agriculture. These important conversations provide a space for innovative solutions and help us all move towards a healthier and more sustainable Nebraska.
