“Father of North American Boreal Ecology” has Passed On

After a long life rich with achievements, Professor William O. Pruitt Jr., Senior Scholar in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Manitoba, passed away on December 7, 2009.

He is greatly missed.

The list of Dr. Pruitt’s accomplishments is vast. His research and passion for teaching has been profoundly important in our understanding of boreal ecology. His tireless service to protect the boreal forests and its critters is truly inspiring. Dr. Pruitt was so helpful to CPAWS and so many others with his teachings and insights about woodland caribou.
