Last year Maude Rogers decided that she wanted a career in forestry science.
The Wanaka teenager could see it taking her all over the world or working as a sector researcher for the Ministry for Primary Industries.
She was delighted when she was named as one of eight recipients to be awarded a 2021 Ngā Karahipi Uru Rākau forestry scholarship .
The scholarship provided $8000 a year for four years, and was designed to encourage more women and Māori to enter New Zealand s forestry and wood processing sectors.
