Staples receives Alabama Conservation scholarship
Lauren Staples from Ashville High School is this year’s winner of the Alabama Conservation District Employees Association Area II scholarship, awarded by the St. Clair County Conservation District.
Lauren will be going to Auburn University in Montgomery. Her field of study will be agri-science education. She has been a major asset to the District with an impressive resume of volunteer work with the District.
“She has been an amazing Earth Team Volunteer and we are very thankful for her,” said Charity Mitcham with the St. Clair County Conservation District. “From the Ag in Action trailer, multiple water festivals, to helping me with soil babies with the 4th graders. She has a gift and I’m excited to see her excel.”
