UW-River Falls Assistant Professor of Conservation and Environmental Science Kevyn Juneau led a group of eight UWRF students on an international tropical restoration experience earlier this summer. The team travelled to Andros Island, Bahamas, where they collected data and assisted the Bahamas Forestry Unit with restoration of several environmental systems.
