Taylor Collore (Credit: UCF Veterans Academic Resource Center)<\/p><\/div>\n

A U.S. Navy veteran pursuing his master\u2019s degree in archaeology will serve his country in a different way this Spring.<\/p>\n

Anthropology<\/a> student Taylor Collore will participate in a stewardship with the U.S. Forest Services and work directly with government officials to protect the Ocala National Forest.<\/p>\n

\u201cServing my country and giving back is something I hold close to my heart,\u201d explained Collore.<\/p>\n

The Forest Stewardship Program (FSP) works in collaboration with state forestry agencies, cooperative extension and conservation districts to educate landowners on tools they need to manage forests and woodlands. Actively managed forests provide critical timber and fuel, along with recreational opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think people realize how much goes into protecting where our resources come from,\u201d said Collore. \u201cWhen I learned about the history of exploitation in our forests it really shocked me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Collore originally graduated from the University of South Florida with a concentration in criminology and minor in anthropology. While pursuing his undergraduate studies he was introduced to Mesoamerican studies, a discipline concentrating on the history and artifacts inherent to Mesoamerica.<\/p>\n

\u201cUCF has a Mesoamerican program within the anthropology department that stood out to me because of the great reputation it has within the academic community,\u201d said Collore.<\/p>\n

Collore began his master\u2019s degree with a concentration in Mesoamerican studies in the Fall of 2019. In coincidence with his new beginnings with UCF, COVID-19 sidelined the plans of Collore to participate in a field study in Belize.<\/p>\n

This ended up working in his favor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI ended up tagging along on a project with my advisor, Edward Gonzalez-Tennant, Ph.D.<\/a>, after Belize fell through. It happened to be located within the Ocala National Forest where I got a lot of experience working in a place being actively protected. I met a forest archaeologist who brought up the stewardship and I thought I\u2019d apply,\u201d said Collore.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Forest Services, in collaboration with the Hispanic Access Foundation, aims to provide stewardship to a candidate that will support national, regional, forest, and other agencies to comply with historic and heritage preservation laws.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe mission is sustainability,\u201d said Collore. \u201cWe\u2019re working to protect our resources while still directly benefitting from them. My end goal here, and as an archaeologist, is to learn how to defend our resources, enact change and properly educate those around us on how to get involved and take proper care of the land we use.\u201d<\/p>\n
