I feel like I\u2019m easy to talk to,\u201d says Dobbs. \u201cThe schooling seems really interesting and I have a lot of experience, too \u2013 I\u2019ve been hunting since I was a little kid and I know most of the regulations off by heart, same with fishing. It\u2019s what I\u2019ve grown up around. It created my future for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also intends to supplement his education with a water resources course at Lakehead University, a subject he gained experience in during a co-op placement with the University of Waterloo\u2019s Summit Centre that focused on water quality testing. Dobbs also entered and won the Waterloo Sustainability Contest for his age group in both 2014 and 2015. \u201c(Water quality) is an interesting topic and there are lots of jobs in water so it wouldn\u2019t be a bad field to get into.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During high school, Dobbs also participated in the Outers Club \u2013 which included winter camping and canoe trips into the interior of Algonquin Park \u2013 and attend the 2015 Trillium Lakelands District School Board Eco Summit, a forum for secondary students to share ideas as future leaders in environmental education.<\/p>\n<p>His future goals and past experience align well with the vision of Charlie Esson who, into his 90s, advocated for sustainable forestry and the environment. &#8220;He was a lateral thinker,&#8221; says Bill Dickinson from Muskoka Conservancy. &#8220;Throughout his life he practiced good forest stewardship. He walked the walk, before it was trendy. (The bursary) is a nice legacy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fifteen applicants from Muskoka and Parry Sound were vying for the bursary, says Dickinson. &#8220;It was a tough decision. There were some very good candidates and it was close but Ethan was definitely a superior winner. He has obviously wanted to do this for a while.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don&#8217;t miss out on Doppler!
