This endowment was started by Susi Nehls and Roy Blair in memory of Susi's father; Dr. Joe Hickey. Dr. Hickey's research led to legislation that protected birds of prey like the bald eagle. Dr. Hickey's passion for teaching others about the natural world was sparked early by adults who introduced him to the wonders of nature.
