The Wenatchee River Salmon Festival announces the 2013 Nancy Duree Natural Resource Scholarship. Nancy received her education in wildlife management from Humboldt State University. She loved the outdoors and her hobbies included birding and wildflower identification. She was a member of the Wenatchee River Salmon Festival Core Team and was devoted to the educational mission of the festival and an active participant in the Festival since its inception in 1991.
