The Geauga Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) is offering scholarship funding for the 2017 Ohio Forestry and Wildlife Conservation Camp, held June 11-16 at FFA Camp Muskingum in Carroll County.
Sponsored by the Ohio Forestry Association, the weeklong camp for high school students explores many branches of forest ecology including silviculture, tree identification, wildlife and forestry management and forest products.
Campers have the opportunity to learn firsthand about Ohio’s forests and natural resources through challenging and engaging activities, woodland hikes, demonstrations, and outdoor experiences taught by resource professionals.
Applicants must be a current Geauga County resident and enrolled in high school at the time of camp. Students who have completed eighth grade through seniors graduating this year are welcome to apply.
Applicants must complete the Geauga SWCD Scholarship application form, including the short essay, and submit documents by 3 p.m. March 31.
