WV Youth Environmental Scholarships

Scholarships are available for the 48th annual West Virginia Youth Environmental Conference, scheduled for Oct. 6-8 at Cacapon Resort State Park in Morgan County.
Sponsored by the West Virginia Dept. of Environmental Protection’s Youth Environmental Program, the conference is open to youth ages 13-18 and their chaperones at no cost with a scholarship.
Scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Once all scholarships have been allotted, participants can still register at a cost of $200 each.
The deadline to register for the conference is 3 p.m. Sept. 15.
Among the activities planned for this year’s conference is a Saturday field trip with stops at Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, Cool Spring Nature Preserve and Ridge State Fish Hatchery.
The weekend also will feature environmental programs and guest speakers.
