The Flagstaff chapter is pleased to announce that the 2023 Avery Intern Scholarship awardee is Micah Fennessy-Butters.
Micah grew up in Flagstaff and is currently a senior at NAU pursuing a degree in geology with a potential path toward grad school. Micah is interested in biology and in learning more about river sciences, river and stream monitoring and restoration, and the impacts to riparian and aquatic habitat by natural-and human-caused changes to stream and river geomorphology.
He recently worked with the Grand Canyon Trust to restore springs along the Echo Cliffs on the Navajo Reservation, and he has also done volunteer work for the National Forest Service to replant trees after fires.
