As a first-year Master of Forestry student at the University of Maine, Orono, this scholarship will be a huge help, specifically for purchasing the required materials for my courses so that I can be successful during my first semester.
I look forward to spending the next two years learning all of the necessary skills to enter the workforce as a forester in Pennsylvania, where a large portion of maple lumber is produced. I hope to maintain a relationship with the MFMA throughout my time in school and into my career as a forester.
