The poster, titled “Mapping Existing River Cane Sites Within Jackson County, North Carolina, Using Visible Aerial Photography,” was co-authored by Joni Bugden-Storie, WCU assistant professor of natural resource conservation and management; Torry Nergart, a WCU graduate of natural resource conservation and management; and Christopher Storie, geography lecturer at Winthrop University. Their research was initiated by a grant provided by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians through a Revitalization of Tradition Cherokee Artisan Resources grant.
