Her goal of building a prouder community grew to include more than just green space.<\/p>\n<p>In partnership with local government, businesses, and neighborhood organizations she has improved opportunities for transportation, fitness and recreation, nutrition, and economic development. Majora\u2019s lessons learned will remind us that environment is just one component in building a stronger, healthier community.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Student Scholarships<br \/>\n<\/strong>Through the generosity of an anonymous donor, Maine Coast Heritage Trust is proud to offer free admissionto students with a Maine connection whose studies include an environmental, nonprofit, or sustainability focus. The scholarship covers the cost of registration Saturday only (though except for the evening reception, Friday events are free for all). To apply, write a short essay that briefly describes your course of study, what you think you might like to do when you graduate, and how you hope attending the conference will ehlp you with your goals.
