Hocking College student and Maysville graduate Mallory Spring was recently awarded the 2014 Muskingum Soil and Water Conservation District Scholarship. Spring was recognized at the 70th annual Celebration of Conservation in late October.

Spring is currently attending Hocking College, where she is majoring in Wildlife Resources Management. After graduating from Hocking, she plans to continue her education at The Ohio State University. The MSWCD Scholarship Committee selected Spring based on her achievements and her extensive volunteer experiences in her chosen line of study. She is a member of the Y-Bridge Longbeards Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation, Grand Entry 4-H Club, Flocks of Fun 4-H Club, Muskingum County Junior Leaders and Junior Fair Board, and Rolling Plains United Methodist Church. Between school, 4-H, church and community organizations, Spring volunteered well over 2000 hours in her high school career.
