Let's Create a Healthier Nebraska for Wildlife and People
Your financial partnership helps make our work possible! Whether you are a hunter, landowner, wildlife-lover, or just interested in our work, your gift can help us work towards healthier ecosystems!
How will your support help?
Research
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.
Extension
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.
Student Support
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.
WildAg Podcast
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.

"Being a member of the AWESM lab has provided me with the opportunity to conduct research that not only aligns with my research interests but also can benefit the farming community I come from. The resources and opportunities offered by the lab have been invaluable in fostering my professional growth, enhancing my research capabilities, and bridging the gap between academic outcomes and real-world social impact."
- Grace, PhD Student
“Working in the AWESM lab has given me a chance to put theory into practice. I have now been a part of the process that takes data and turns it into a conversation that can be used to guide complex management decisions in the natural world. I feel better equipped to enter the workforce with a well-rounded idea of how field work and data analysis can inform natural resource management.”
- Kol, Undergraduate Researcher
