Abstract

Billy Beck was hired August 2019 as the ISU Extension and Outreach (ISUEO) forestry specialist and assistant professor in the Department of Natural Resource, Ecology, and Management (NREM). Beck, motivated to create a new vision for the Brayton Forest, is working directly with Troy Heeren, ISU staff forester, plus ISU and ISUEO faculty and staff, Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), and a wide variety of state and regional natural resource partners to craft this vision and further the forest’s extension, research, and teaching missions. Beck is humbled to continue the extensive commitment that his predecessors, including Jesse Randall and Paul Wray, as well as Troy Heeren, have provided to the forest.
