BRYANT POND – The Maine Conservation School has received notification from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife that the 2006 moose permit auction has raised more than $50,000.
The funds will be available this year to provide scholarships for the conservation camp week-long summer program. Campers age 10 to 13 will be certified in hunter safety (either archery or firearms). The money will be awarded in $200 scholarships.
In addition, the school has been awarded a $16,000 grant from the Maine Outdoor Heritage Fund to provide scholarships for several programs: junior Maine woodsman/woodswoman for ages 12 to 14,Maine woodsman/woodswoman for ages 13 to 15 and junior Maine guide program for ages 15 to 18. The scholarships will cover half of the cost.
Scholarship funds will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, and some restrictions may apply. Many other local groups have also provided funding in various amounts. Contact Joyce or Heather in the office, 665-2068, for current scholarship availability.
