Mollena Sydnor - Inaugural Recipient Of The Flathead Lakers Scholarship

We are proud to announce that Mollena Sydnor is the inaugural recipient of the Flathead Lakers Scholarship! Mollie will be attending the University of Montana to major in Environmental Science and Sustainability with a concentration in Ecosystem Science and Restoration.

After completing her undergraduate degree, she plans to gain hands-on experience through internships and seasonal work in restoration and land management, followed by pursuing a master's degree in ecological restoration.

Mollie's dedication to environmental stewardship is truly inspiring. Currently, she is making a significant impact as a Leatherback sea turtle research assistant at the Pacuare Nature Reserve in Costa Rica. Her work involves nightly beach monitoring, hatchery construction, relocating egg clutches, turtle data collection, and education outreach with student groups.

Mollie will be volunteering at our Poker Paddle event this year. Get your tickets and come congratulate her in person!

Congratulations to Mollie on her well-deserved scholarship and her incredible contributions to environmental conservation!
