12 August 2022 Amy adds to accolades

Members of the trust recently formally awarded her the scholarship, which is given to students undertaking studies relating to environmental management and/or planning.

The Bachelor of Science with Honours student, who majored in Environmental Science, is working on helping to protect the environment from pollution through a project on "the influence of nitrate concentrations on the reductive dissolution of phosphorus from soils under anaerobic conditions".

"More simply put, it's about phosphorus loss from waterlogged soils," she said.

Amy also currently has a DairyNZ Scholarship and a JMH Tripp Agricultural Scholarship on her resume, both recognising leadership and her intention to work in the primary sector.
