The world may be familiar with Greta Thunberg and her work to warn world leaders on global environmental inaction. If Pennsylvania did have its own version of Thunberg, there could be little doubt that person is Emma Olney from York, Pennsylvania. For Olney, conservation is not only just passion, but now her intended area of study. She has received a full scholarship to attend Bowdoin College in Maine for Environmental, Arctic & Government/Legal studies; she's a certified Conservation Ambassador with Lock Haven’s Wildlife Leadership Academy; a Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership representative (a nationally-recognized youth leadership program); has written several articles on conservation; and serves on the Pennsylvania Governor's Youth Council for Hunting, Fishing, and Conservation.
