Venezia

Venezia is a second-year HDNR undergrad from Bellvue, CO.  She served with Mile High Youth Corps over the summer to give back to our natural areas by building a new trail on Pike’s Peak.  This year she’ll be conducting research with Dr. Jane Stewart on Geosmithia morbida, a fungus carried by walnut twig beetles that causes Thousand Cankers Disease when they tunnel into walnut trees, to determine how it reproduces and thus how it’s effects can be mitigated.
