HARTINGTON — The Lewis and Clark NRD Board of Directors has selected three outstanding seniors to receive Patefield-Green Memorial Scholarships of $1,000 each. College scholarship funds are awarded by the Natural Resources District to graduates who intend to pursue agricultural related careers. The Lewis and Clark NRD encourages these students to consider returning to the area after completing college to protect the natural resources and contribute to the region where they grew up.

The recipients of the 2020 Patefield-Green Scholarships are:

• Taylor Arens, Crofton High School; Brogan Jones, Allen Consolidated Schools; Brayden Kathol, Cedar Catholic High School

Each scholarship recipient will be presented a $1,000 scholarship to use towards tuition and fees at the college of their choice.

The Patefield-Green Memorial Scholarship is in remembrance of two outstanding NRD directors.

Warren Patefield of Laurel was a conservation leader on a local, state, and national level. Ken Green of Allen worked tirelessly on resource projects in the community. They served their communities and believed in providing educational opportunities to local youth to encourage natural resource awareness. Their generosity continues to serve the graduating seniors of the Lewis and Clark Natural Resources District.
