Lynn Weyerhaeuser Day and her husband Stanley R. Day endowed the Society's Frederick K. Weyerhaeuser Forest History Fellowship in 1986 to honor the memory of Lynn's father, F. K. Weyerhaeuser, to support FHS programs, and to strengthen the Society's affiliation with Duke University. The fellowship provides a stipend to Duke University graduate students pursuing research in the fields of forest, conservation, or environmental history. The project must focus on the relationships between humans, forests, and related resources over time. Proposals are judged in terms of overall significance and quality of presentation. Examples of acceptable topics include general changes in a forest ecosystem caused by natural or human intervention; environmental change resulting from the introduction of a nonnative tree or plant species; the evolution of policies or practices relating to natural resource use or management; the historical development of resource-dependent communities; and changes in science or technology affecting forestry, natural resource conservation, or environmental management. Applicants must submit a narrative description of research, including significance of topic, research approach, author's background, research and writing schedule, and budget (how you plan to use the fellowship if awarded). Attachments are not necessary but may include previous publications, written chapters, and basic bibliography, etc. They must also submit two letters of recommendation from persons knowledgeable of the applicant's research. Letters of recommendation should address the applicant's qualifications and may describe the significance of the topic to forest and conservation history.
