Nathan Zeinstra of Mount Forest was one of three winners of the Ducks Unlimited Wetland Centres of Excellence Scholarship for 2021.
The scholarship recognizes outstanding growth and achievement at the Luther Marsh Wetland Centre of Excellence (WCE.)
Luther Marsh is among one of Ontario’s most significant wetlands where Zeinstra learned to canoe, hike, hunt and fish.
Zeinstra was seen to take on a strong leadership role and help younger students on the marsh which was quickly seen by his teacher Matt Timberlake.
Zeinstra is currently in his third year of Environmental Sciences at the University of Guelph taking a co-op program to learn more about forest management and wildlife restoration.
Kylie Holmstrom of Virden, Manitoba and Joyce Ji from Winnipeg were the other winners named.
