Dr. Lisa Schulte Moore, Iowa State University professor of Natural Resource ecology and management, will present “Prairie STRIPS: From Research to Action”at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 19, at Hardin Hall Auditorium.
Schulte Moore conducts research and teaches in the areas of agriculture, ecology, forestry and human-landscape interactions. Her current research addresses the strategic integration of perennials into agricultural landscapes to meet societal goals for clean water, healthy soils, abundant wildlife and inspiring recreational opportunities.
