EarthShare North Carolina recently recognized several individuals and groups for their outstanding contributions to the group.
The Community Friend award for extraordinary contributions to ESNC was given to two of North Carolina’s true environmental heroes, Fred and Alice Stanback.
If you remember in 2004, the Salisbury residents donated $500,000, in addition to a $4.1 million grant from the Clean Water Management Trust Fund, to purchase a conservation easement on 1,900 acres of the watershed for the Woodfin Sanitary Water and Sewer District on Blackberry Inn Road in the Reems Creek area, protecting the land for future logging. The area is one of the largest remaining intact watersheds in Western North Carolina.
The Stanbacks have received numerous awards for their commitment to environmental education including the North Carolina Award for Public Service.
Others recognized by EartShare North Carolina included Elizabeth Guthrie for her volunteer work, June Blotnick of Clean Air Carolina for her outstanding leadership ESNC Vice President Kathleen Gray received the Allan Spalt Award for outstanding contribution by a board or committee member.
