Press release from Green Diamond:

The 2023 Mark E. Reed Scholarships were awarded this summer in each of Green Diamond Resource Company’s operating areas in Washington, Oregon and California. The recipients each received $3,000 to use toward higher education in natural resources areas of study. The scholarships were awarded by the program’s state boards. 

This is the 76th year the scholarships have been presented in memory of Mark E. Reed, who was Simpson Logging Company’s president from 1914 until his passing in 1933.
