Expedition scholarship awarded for 25th anniversary

GREENVILLE — Andrew Pierce recently received the Teen Wilderness Expedition Scholarship from Friends of Wilson Pond Area in celebration of the organization’s 25th anniversary. Pierce is a Greenville resident and attends Greenville Middle School.

The Teen Wilderness Expedition is a unique and wonderful way for youth ages 12-16 to learn about and experience the natural world. The three-day trip to the Appalachian Mountain Club’s Little Lyford Lodge will be July 12-14. The expedition is packed with fun recreational activities, skill-building challenges, learning and more. The experience is sponsored by the Piscataquis County Soil and Water Conservation District.

In his thank you note Pierce wrote, “This trip would teach me who I am by pushing myself past any obstacles.”
