The Haywood Community College Student Chapter of the Wildlife Society recently received the Forrest E. Jarrett Wildlife Conservation Award, an annual award presented by a group of wildlife enthusiasts. 

The award included a plaque and $3,000 to support the 2020 Southeastern Wildlife Conclave, which HCC is co-hosting with Western Carolina University in March. The Forrest E. Jarrett Award is named for a retired railroad law enforcement officer.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
