Dr. Alec Nelson, Post-Doctoral Researcher - Warnell School of Forestry & Natural Resources - University of Georgia

Dr. Nelson presents the results of his doctoral dissertation research on the spatial prioritization of targeted forest parcel protection along the Savannah River, a collaboration of the University of Georgia's Warnell School of Forestry with the Savannah River Clean Water Fund. He compares two prominent prioritization approaches and briefly highlights an accompanying social sciences study on landowner sentiment and how this work has supported ongoing conservation efforts in South Carolina and Georgia.
