To promote the preservation, awareness and appreciation of our environment, the Friends of Willapa National Wildlife Refuge offers scholarships to students pursuing careers in fish and wildlife management, environmental education, conservation and related fields.
This year there are three $1,000 scholarships available to qualifying students. These grants are available to graduating seniors in Pacific and Wahkiakum Counties. To apply, contact your high school's scholarship coordinator.
Interim President Julie Tennis – Began with a gong and a song as she introduced herself and explained the ballot. Sandy Nielson’s name was inadvertently omitted so members were advised to write in her name if they wished to elect her.
