Students Receive LVM Bio-economy School Scholarships

Fierce competition has developed among this year’s participants of LVM Bio-economy School scholarship competition organized by JSC “Latvia's State Forests” (LVM), since student knowledge of the innovative bio-economy and understanding of the growing role of forest resources in solving environmental problems has grown significantly. After intense discussions, the competition jury selected the scholarship winners. Congratulations!

For the fourth year in a row, the scholarship competition encourages young people in Latvia to create their own video messages in honour of the UN International Day of Forests. Representatives of the competition jury tell that the knowledge of the participants and their presentation skills increase year by year, therefore it is becoming more and more difficult to choose the best works.
