 Four
scholarships of $2,000 each are available for the current school

school students interested in conservation stewardship and
protecting Illinois’ natural resources,” said Illinois Department of
Natural Resources Director Natalie Phelps Finnie.
The ICF Conservation Achievement Scholarships have been awarded
since 2005. Applicants must be an Illinois resident and a senior in
