This year’s workshop will be held June 23-28 on the campus of North Carolina State University. The primary objective of the workshop is learning about natural resources and their management in today’s global environment. Not only is the workshop a valuable tool in preparing students to become environmentally conscious citizens, it also provides the potential for earning scholarship monies.
