“Zone VI of The Garden Club of America has established a national fellowship
in urban forestry for qualified U.S. students. The GCA Zone VI Fellowship
in Urban Forestry will be awarded in early 2009. With this fellowship, The
Garden Club of America seeks to forward their goal of advancing our
knowledge of urban forests and increasing the number of scientists in the
field of urban forestry. Applications are reviewed by a selection committee
at Virginia Tech composed of practicing urban forestry scientists and
professionals in related fields. Final selection is endorsed by The Garden
Club of America.
The fellowship is highly competitive and applicants must present clearly in
their applications how they will advance the GCAs goal of advancing urban
forestry knowledge and increasing the number of practicing urban forestry
scientists.
Eligibility: The fellowship is open to both advanced undergraduate and
graduate students pursuing degrees in urban forestry, forestry,
horticulture, environmental studies or a closely related field at any
4-year college or university degree program in the United States.
Recipients must be U.S. students who will be enrolled as juniors or seniors
or graduate students during the fellowship period. The award is for $4,000
and recipients may apply for one additional year of funding.

Bill Cary grew up in Louisville, Ky. His gardening was limited to growing parsley and impatiens on the windowsill of Manhattan walkups until the mid-1990s when he bought a rundown old chicken farm on 8 acres in the Hudson Valley. Now he spends his weekends chasing deer, hacking away at invasive shrubs and vines and wondering why he doesn`t have more meadow and less lawn.
