J. Drew Lanham

Drew is a Clemson University Master Teacher and Alumni Distinguished Professor in wildlife ecology. His research interests lie in songbird ecology and conservation, integration of game and nongame wildlife management, and the African American land ethic and its role in natural resources conservation.

I see birds as the ultimate embodiments of freedom with wings and wandering spirits that can inspire and inform our own lives. Conserving them and their habitats is a moral mission that needs the broadest and most diverse audience possible to be successful.
