-- Professional land managers from California and the West honored Jim McHenry, UC Davis weed science emeritus in the vegetable crops department, with a Lifetime Achievement Award for his contributions to forest vegetation management. McHenry received the award at a recent forest-management conference in Redding. During his long career in the UC system, McHenry developed many of the weed-management principles used today in forest plantations. Among his publications are papers on poison oak and blackberry control and identification, and the earliest work on the control of perennial pepperweed.
