MLT Presents Conservation Scholarship

The Morris Land Trust was honored to award its first annual scholarship to Quenten Meyer, a graduating senior from Lakeview High School, at the school’s scholarship ceremony on June 2, 2026.

Quenten will attend Hofstra University, where he plans to study Anthropology with a concentration in Archaeology. His goal is to pursue field or museum work focused on uncovering and preserving historical artifacts and cultures, helping future generations better understand the past and learn from sustainable practices used throughout history.

In addition to his academic pursuits, Quenten has demonstrated an outstanding commitment to leadership, community service, and stewardship through Scouting. An Eagle Scout since 2025, he has served in several leadership roles, including Senior Patrol Leader, Camp Chief for Camp Mattatuck, and currently Chapter Chief for Corsair Chapter through the Order of the Arrow, Scouting’s national honor society. Through more than 150 hours of service, including work with White Memorial and local community initiatives, Quenten has shown a strong dedication to serving others and caring for the communities and environments around him.

The Morris Land Trust is proud to recognize Quenten as the recipient of our inaugural scholarship, and we look forward to seeing where his passion for history, service and conservation will lead him in the years ahead. Congratulations, Quenten!
