May 30, 2024 | View as Webpage

Every year, the Xerces Society gives out at least two DeWind Awards to students pursuing research into Lepidoptera conservation. Bill DeWind established this student research endowment fund in honor of his wife and pioneering member of Xerces, Joan DeWind. Through Joan’s legacy, we are investing in the future of our planet and our field by sponsoring the next generation of butterfly and moth conservationists.
