2026 BBC Teen Birder Scholarship Awards
The Conservation and Education Committee is pleased to announce our two annual Bill Drummond Young Birder Scholarship recipients, Lily Rogers of Brimfield and Gwyn Robertson-DuBois of Northfield. These scholarships cover the full cost ($1725) of the Coastal Maine Bird Studies for Teens program at National Audubon’s Hog Island camp on June 21-26, 2026. We thank all the applicants for their interest.
Lily is passionate about bird conservation and hopes to become a field ornithologist. She is an avid hiker, photographer and painter of birds, who has worked as a summer camp counselor and volunteers for her town’s recreation center. Gwyn shares her dedication to bird conservation and interest in field ornithology. She enjoys conducting research on birds and is fascinated by coastal ecology. Congratulations, Lily and Gwyn!
Scholarships are supported through the generous donations of club members. To donate, you can designate an amount on the “BBC Young Birder Scholarship” line on the back page of the club bulletin when you renew membership, or donate online by clicking the Donate link on the BBC home page and entering an amount in the box for “Young Birder Scholarship.”
