Hog Island Scholarship Awarded
WCAS's Board of Directors awarded our 2012 Holden Scholarship Award for NAS's Teachers Workshop to be held during July at Hog Island, near Rockport, ME. Our recipient is Steve Timmerman, who teaches middle school science for the Pinelands Regional School District in Ocean County. See further details here.
Holden Fund Grants Awarded
WCAS distributed $18,680.00 in grants to several local and one international organization to carry out education and conservation programs. The grant committee had to make some tough choices between a very competitive group of proposals focusing on such factors as the ecological importance of the habitat being preserved or restored, educational impact, community involvement, and economic leverage. The grants were made possible by a generous bequest from Polly Holden. See further details here.
Newsletter Correction
The newsletter listing for the Woodcock Watch indicates that it will be held on Saturday, March 2. The date is correct! It will be held on Friday, March 2 from 6:00 - 7:30 PM!
