  Adam Shoalts is a writer and columnist for two local newspapers, the founder of an environmental organization and a wilderness adventurer.
  
  A passionate environmentalist, Shoalts also speaks to groups across the region on environmental issues.His audience ranges from kindergarten right up to senior citizens.
  
  His first book, Sense of Adventure: An Account of a Journey in the Canadian Wilderness, was published in 2006, just two years after he graduated from high school.
  
  The book is a detailed description of a journey he and his friend embarked on in the Canadian wilderness.In the book he speaks of his journey 500 kilometres north of Thunder Bay where he discovered a remote river in Quebec.
  
  He is also a historian at the Business Education Council of Niagara and writes articles about Niagara's history for www.yourniagara.ca.Despite achieving all of this at just 22 years old, Shoalts is rather humble.
  
  "I guess I'm just ambitious," he said.
  
  Aside from writing, Shoalts also founded the Friends of Coyle Creek, an environmental group dedicated to preserving and keeping the natural environment of Coyle Creek.Coyle Creek is a small waterway that runs through Pelham and is home to a colony of beavers, which is rare in the Niagara Region.
  
  "I used to always canoe the creek and there was no organization for it so I decided to create one," he said.
  
  Upon receiving the award, Shoalts was pleased and humbled.
  
  He said while it's good to receive recognition for his work such as writing about the environment and being a founder of the Friends of Coyle Creek, one can't rest on laurels.
  
  He urged municipal politicians to keep pushing for environmental improvements.
  
  "There remains a great deal of work to be done ... before we can celebrate anything," he said."The progress and issues can only be made by strong leadership."
  
  Shoalts is currently in his fourth year studying history and English at Brock University.He was awarded with Brock's Donald G. Creighton prize for history and the 2008 Niagara Peninsula Society (Archaeological Institute of America) prize in classical archaeology and history, and the university history department's third-year book prize.
  
  After he graduates from Brock, Shaolts said, he is leading another expedition into the deep Canadian wilderness which will span thousands of kilometres.
