Wake County announces Sheila B. Jones Environmental Education Scholarship recipients

One wants to bridge the environmental education gap between urban and rural communities. The other wants to channel restless kids into the next generation of conservationists. Amarion Singletary and Hanna Camptella are the 2026 recipients of the Sheila B. Jones Environmental Education Scholarship.

“Both of these students are taking consistent action to become impactful educators and improve their communities," said Wake County Commissioner Tara Waters. "They represent exactly the kind of next-generation leaders this scholarship was created to support."

Amarion Singletary is a student at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. His involvement in environmental education began through programs such as the Resource Conservation Workshop and Envirothon, which helped shape his interest in conservation and outreach.

“I am motivated to work with both urban and rural communities to bridge gaps in environmental understanding," said Singletary. "I want to create opportunities for students to engage with the environment in meaningful ways and understand where their natural resources come from, as well as why protecting them is essential for long-term sustainability, especially where they are not as unlimited as they seem to the eye."
