As part of Earth Week 2017, Mississippi State's Office of Sustainability is hosting a lecture by 2017 College of Forest Resources Alumnus of the Year, Elizabeth "Liz" Rooks-Barber. As part of the Waldorf Endowment, the lecture is made possible with the support of private donors David and Elizabeth Waldorf. Rooks-Barber will discuss how private landowners use conversation easements to preserve the lands they love. Follow the MSU Office of Sustainability on Facebook @msstatesustainability and Twitter @msstate_green for more information about this and other Earth Week events.
