Whew, it was a tough competition this year for the scholarships! ALL of the students who applied for our “Wildlife, Ecology, and Environmental” scholarships wrote some incredible responses to the questions on the application. We want to thank them for taking the time to be so thoughtful and creative and we wish them all the best of success in life!
 
It was a hard choice (we mean really hard), but we finally settled on the following three students:
 
Thad Boyer of Cowanesque 
Brooke Lundgren of Wellsboro
Owen Richardson of Wellsboro
 
Congratulations to each of them!
 
These students have great plans for their futures, ranging from heavy equipment operations/diesel technician to environmental science/geosciences to biology. Their essays touched upon the important role that earthworks can have in controlling flooding, solving new ways to use renewable resources, and mapping out conservation areas to aid against the urbanization of wildlife habitats.
 
All the kids plan to further their education in colleges located within PA. They each have insightful and viable ideas on what they can do personally to improve/mitigate some of the environmental issues our local area is experiencing.
 
We here at the PA Grand Canyon Snowmobile Club are proud to be able to give these students a boost toward their future careers. And we thank Seneca Resources for partnering with us to make these scholarships help even more!
 
Be on the lookout over the next few weeks for more about these students in the Wellsboro Gazette and on our website!
 
Again, we’d like to congratulate Thad, Brooke, and Owen!
