Forestry Camp Scholarship Awarded!

The Geauga Soil and Water Conservation District is proud to award a full scholarship to one Geauga County student for registration to the 2016 Ohio Forestry and Wildlife Conservation Camp, taking place June 12-17, at FFA Camp Muskingum in Carrollton, Ohio. Joseph Michael Gantous, from West Geauga School District, was awarded a scholarship to join other high school campers from across the state to attend this unique and engaging camp promoting the wise management of Ohio’s forests and natural resources.

At Camp Muskingum, Joseph Michael will participate in many classes including forest ecology, wildlife management, and forest products, plus activities like a team-building adventure course, a night hike, and a tree climbing program. At the end of the camp, students will have a chance to earn college scholarship money through the final exam. The Geauga SWCD Board of Supervisors and staff congratulate Joseph Michael and wish him a positive and rewarding camp experience.
