2025 Bedford County Envirothons ocurred during the last week of April and the first week in May.
A special $500 memorial scholarship has been established in honor of environmentalist William Plank for his dedication to conservation. Bill was a longtime Bedford County Conservation District Board member, and inspired many fortunate enough to know him. His friends and family have chosen to recognize and honor his work by contributing to a scholarship in his name to be administered through the Bedford County Conservation District. The scholarship is available to undergraduate college students who have completed one year of environmental studies; courses should be related to natural resources, soils, plants, animal science, agriculture or forestry. Applicants should be sophomore, junior or senior status. Applications must be submitted no later than April 30. Scholarships will be awarded on the basis of financial need, academic merit, curriculum of study, quality of the written essay and career goals that are consistent with the BCCD mission. The BCCD encourages stewardship and conservation of natural resources for this and future generations. The scholarship will be available as early as September for disbursement. The successful applicant will be notified by postal mail soon after the committee has arrived at a decision. Please note that the money will be paid directly to the school of your choice after confirmation of enrollment, and online courses are eligible. The funds must be used within one year of notification of scholarship award.
