Wild Things Scholarship 2017 Winners

Rita E. Anderson, Wild Things Scholarship Coordinator

 

The Wild Things Scholarship annually recognizes the enthusiasm and efforts of a resident whose volunteer activities have helped to enhance or conserve nature in Newfoundland and Labrador and who is or will be a student in a post-secondary program.  NatureNL conducts the competition for the scholarship, which is supported by Wildland Tours (wildlands.com) and an anonymous donor.
