Diane Davies wins Brooks
agriculture award in Georgia
Diane Davies, 4-H specialist with
the Rock Eagle 4-H Center near
Eatonton, Ga., has been recog-
nized with the D.W. Brooks Fac-
ulty Award of Excellence in Exten-
sion, presented on Tuesday, Octo-
ber 2.
The award was intitiated by The
University of Georgia College of
Agriculture to recognize faculty
each year who make outstanding
contributions and maintain excel-
lence in teaching, research, Ex-
tension work and International
agriculture. It includes a plaque, a
$2,500 cash award and a $2,000
special account to improve the
program.
Davies, a native of Dallas, has
gained national recognition for her
Resident Outdoor and Environ-
mental Education Program, which
she initiated at the Rock Eagle 4-H
Center in 1979. This program,
which annually serves 25,000
students in grades 3-8 in Georgia
and six other states, has resulted
in $450,000 in grants since 1986
and generated more than $1 mil-
lion to the 4-H camps.
The Environmental Education
Program, which is fully endorsed
by the Georgia State Department
of Education, has become the larg-
est of its kind in the U.S. It is
looked upon nationally as a model
for other states. More than 100,000
elementary school students and
their teachers have already bene-
fited.
“Her efforts at the state level
have significantly strengthened
county Extension programs
throughout Georgia,” said C.
Wayne Jordan, UGA Georgia Ex-
tension Service Director.
“County 4-H agents have used
the Environmental Education
Program as a means of expanding
their working relationships with
local schools. This program has
helped them to introduce 4-H into
schools where students were pre-
viously not involved in 4-H activi-
ties.”
Davies was also named as proj-
ect coordinator for a new youth
public policy education program
called the Global Food Web, funded
by a $247,000 grant from the W.K.
Kellogg Foundation. She ‘also re-
ceived an anonymous grant for the
construction of a Natural History
Center being built at Rock Eagle.
Davies earned her bachelor of
science in education degree and
her master’s degree in education
from The University of Georgia.
The D.W. Brooks Award of Ex-
cellence is named for the founder
and chairman emeritus of the board
of Gold Kist, Inc. An alumnus of
the UGA College of Agriculture
where he also taught in the Divi-
sion of Agronomy, Brooks has
devoted his career to the improve-
ment of life through improvements
in agriculture.
Davies is the daughter of Mrs.
Carlton Davies and the late Dr.
Carlton Davies.
