Wildlife, Sustainability, and Ecosystem Sciences with an emphasis in Wildlife

My name is Nicholas Wayne Belsher and I am an undergraduate student at Tarleton State University. I currently have three remaining semesters as a Wildlife, Sustainability, and Ecosystem Sciences major with an emphasis in wildlife management. Through the wildlife department, I recently traveled to several South African countries through study abroad focusing on South African ecology.  I volunteered on different graduate student projects working with bobwhite quail, data processing on white wing dove, and white tail deer through Tarleton and A&M Kingsville. I am also the president of the Tarleton State University Student Chapter of the Wildlife Society. In the organization, we outreach and educate conservation to the university, the community, and the Erath County area.  Following Tarleton, I would like to continue my education and attend graduate school. My goal is to obtain a career as a biologist with a state agency. I want to say thank you to the Houston Safari Club and Dan L Duncan Scholarship program for providing this scholarship to help further my education and future conservation.
