The Lorne Argent Memorial Award

The Lorne Argent scholarship winner this year is Sarah Gutowsky from H.P.S.S. She will be studying Environmental Science at the University of Guelph. We wish her all the best in her future studies.

The award, to be presented annually by the Woodstock Field Naturalists Club, is designed to encourage an aspiring young naturalist with similar interests. Three hundred dollars will be awarded to a graduating high school student with an interest in natural history. The applicant should demonstrate an involvement in the study of natural history, biology, conservation and/or environmental studies, and plan to proceed to university to study in a related field.

This year's winners of the book awards are:

• Dianna Clayton from W.C.I.
• Julianne Jansens from C.A.S.S.
• Sarah Gutowsky from H.P.S.S. Also winner of the Lorne Argent Scholarship.
