2004 Cofrin Center for Biodiversity
Student Research Symposium

UW Green Bay biology student Amanda Malueg is trapping small mammals in the Keith White Prairie as part of her Cofrin Arboretum Student Research Grant.

Thanks to a generous endowment from the family of Dr. David Cofrin and the late John Cofrin, annual awards are awarded for student research on the Cofrin Arboretum and UW-Green Bay natural areas. Students carry out a field project in collaboration with a UW-Green Bay faculty member and will present results in at our annual research symposium. The grants are competitive and must contribute to improving our understanding of ecology on one or more of the UW Green Bay Natural Areas.
