The Zoo New England, as part of their celebrations around Zootopia —their annual fundraising gala— are inviting the community to submit applications for the Seventh Annual Young Conservationist Award. If you know of a student in grades 3-12 who has demonstrated a positive commitment to the Zoo New England and its conservation mission and has engaged in actions supportive of these principles, you can nominate them for the award, which will include a $2,500 scholarship.
“Our past award winners have been remarkable young people with a passion for wildlife and conservation. We’re looking forward to once again presenting this award to an outstanding youth, who continues to make a difference on behalf of wildlife, conservation and the environment.”
—John Linehan, President and CEO of Zoo New England.
The nominations can be submitted until Saturday, March 16th 2019 at 5PM, using the form available here. The award winner will be presented at Zootopia on Saturday, May 11th 2019, and they, along with two adults, will receive complimentary tickets to the event to participate in the awards ceremony. Questions should be addressed via email at the organizers here.
