SERENA
Serena, a Bucktails alumni, assisted the PA Game Commission with a turkey brood survey, submitting her sightings to help track turkey populations. She entered her photography to the Gratz County Fair, attended her local chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation’s annual banquet (where she presented her trifold), and created a plant collection. Serena also spent time getting her friends outdoors hiking and canoeing.
KATIE
Katie, a Gobblers alumni, challenged her community members to spend more time outdoors, going on bicycling trips, taking them camping, and organizing the first annual “Camo Day.” She was an avid writer to the Academy’s NextGen blog, and created several new educational tools to teach about prescribed burns.
RYLEIGH
Ryleigh, a Bucktails alumni, always had a camera in her hands, and submitted stunning nature photography for the Academy to share on Photo Fridays. She spent a lot of time outdoors, hiking, fishing, and finding inspiration for her sketching. Ryleigh regularly volunteered in her community, weeding and keeping the vegetable and flower beds at her school tidy. Ryleigh was also an active member of her school’s Envirothon team!
