All recipients of the award will receive a patch and a certificate which will be handed out at the Northumberland County Conservation District’s annual awards picnic in August.  To receive the award at the picnic applications must be received by July 1.  For more information on this award please contact John Blasius at the Conservation District by phone (570) 495-4665 or by email at jblasius@nccdpa.org.
