Symposium attendee Deane S. Flickinger, the son of Jeff and Kathy Flickinger of Mechanicsville and a student at Lynchburg College, received a scholarship to attend the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge 50th Anniversary Symposium in January at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Conservation Training Center in Shepherdstown, W.Va. About 150 attendees listened to several important conservation historians and conservation leaders, including former President Jimmy Carter and field biologist Dr. George Schaller. During the symposium, Lynchburg College students were given the opportunity to learn about the impor-
tance of the Arctic refuge and the untouched ecosystems that reside there. Flickinger said, “The fact that there were scholarships given to only a handful of students by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Conservation Training Center made the opportunity even greater. For four days we were able to interact with some of the world’s top players in conservation, politics and history. I took away a much better understanding of the Arctic refuge and how important a place it truly is to our earth.”
