High Country Audubon Society is pleased to announce the availability of a grant of up to $500 to be used to assist with research of birds in the High Country of North Carolina. The Sue Wells Research Grant Program is in support of HCAS’s mission statement, which is to encourage beginning birders and experts alike to engage in conservation, education, and research for the benefit of the birds of western North Carolina.
The purpose of this grant program is to provide university or high school students with financial assistance for research concerning birds of the North Carolina High Country. The application requires a statement that directly addresses how the research is related to birds of this area. Additionally the student who receives the grant will be expected to present his/her findings at a High Country Audubon Society meeting within one year of the completion of the research.
