We are thrilled to announce Ally Truscott as the recipient of the 2024 John B. Holdstock Scholarship. This award is a testament to Ally’s dedication and academic excellence, particularly in the field of environmental sciences.

As Ally embarks on her academic journey at the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC), this scholarship will provide support in her pursuit of a Bachelor of Science in Wildlife and Fisheries. We are confident that her studies will be greatly enriched by this opportunity, and we look forward to the contributions she will make to our understanding and stewardship of wildlife and fisheries.

With special thanks to the JB Holdstock Scholarship Committee members:

                  • Judie Steeves, Southern Interior Land Trust
                  • Deb Kennedy, The Nature Trust of British Columbia
                  • Dan Buffett, The Habitat Conservation Foundation
                  • Dave Henshaw, British Columbia Conservation Foundation Board Director
