Congratulations to Dr. Bernard W. Sweeney, the director of the Stroud Water Research Center, who was named the Berks County Conservation District’s Conservation "Individual of the Year" on April 27.
The honor was given for his “proactive work to apply the science of riparian forest ecology," District Executive Dan Greig said.
Dr. Sweeney and his Stroud Center colleague Dr. Denis Newbold published an article last year in "The Journal of the American Water Resources Association" about the optimal width of streamside forest buffers.
(I should add that Denis Newbold has some pretty good technology skills, too: he saved the day by running a lecturer's PowerPoint presentation on his own computer at West Grove Meeting the other evening!)
The internationally known Stroud Center has its headquarters on Spencer Road here in West Marlborough.
