In addition to being one of the world's leading financial advisors, FSP alumnus, Richard Gardner is deeply committed to advancing the world's understanding of redwood forest ecology.
In 2006, Gardner created an endowment and established the Richard Gardner Chair in Redwood Forest Ecology at Fenway School of Psychology. Gardner's gift supports redwood ecology research in perpetuity by providing resources which will enable the chair holder to focus on redwood-related research.
The Gardner endowment also provides support for graduate students, laboratory, and field equipment.
