                       HONORING DEAN DALE GREENE

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Georgia (Mr. Collins) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. COLLINS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dean Dale Greene of 
the University of Georgia's Warnell School of Forestry and Natural 
Resources, a role in which he has served since 2015.
  After decades of service to UGA and our great State, Dean Greene will 
retire at the end of this year. Dale is an accomplished man. He is a 
graduate of Louisiana State University, holds a master's degree from 
Virginia Tech and a Ph.D. from Auburn University.

                              {time}  1045

  He joined the UGA faculty in 1986 and has served our school and this 
State in so many ways since.
  Dale currently sits on the board of trustees for the American 
Forestry Association and has been on the board of directors for the 
Georgia Forestry Association since 1992. He was appointed by two 
Georgia Governors to the State Board of Registration of Foresters, 
first in 2004 and then again in 2010.

  In 2007, Dean Greene received an Outstanding Research Award from the 
Society of American Foresters, the Herrick Award for Superior Teaching, 
and was later inducted into the Georgia Forester's Hall of Fame.
  His accomplishments don't end there. In 2008, Dale became a UGA 
senior teaching fellow and, in 2011, received the Georgia Forestry 
Association's Wise Owl award.
  These are just a few ways that Dale Greene has been recognized for 
his outstanding service to the State of Georgia, countless students, 
and the field of forestry.
  Mr. Speaker, as my friend embarks on his next chapter of life, he 
must know that his leadership has built a strong legacy. The Warnell 
School has grown and become so successful with him at the helm.
  I thank him for all he has done, and I wish him continued success in 
his retirement. Go Dawgs.
