Arkansas -(Ammoland.com)- Family, friends and colleagues of the late Dr. Robert H. Burch, Jr. have begun a campaign to create a waterfowl research endowment in the University of Arkansas at Monticello Foundation Fund.

The fund honors the late Dr. Robert H. Burch Jr., of Monticello, a dentist, waterfowl enthusiast and avid duck hunter who died Jan. 30, 2015. Funds generated by the endowment will be used for waterfowl research and waterfowl-related academic activities, with first preference given to undergraduate or graduate research. Examples might include undergraduate scholarships, graduate assistantships or stipends, expenses for travel and conference participation, or equipment.

Funds will be allocated by a committee chaired by Dr. Christopher Sims, a biology professor on the UAM faculty and a close friend of the late Dr. Burch. The committee will include representatives from both the School of Forestry and Natural Resources and the School of Mathematical and Natural Sciences.
