LAURELS: Conservation awards

Due to the rain and mud, the Buck & Doe Trust had to postpone its annual outdoor breakfast at the Brandywine Conservancy's Laurels Preserve until May 27.
Receiving "Pass the Buck" land-preservation awards at the breakfast were Dean and Laura Richardson (who eased their property), Cathie and Michael Ledyard (who also eased their property), and Janet Sidewater (who already had eased her property, and was also chosen for her work on behalf of the Newlin Open Space Committee, including educational seminars for residents).

According to Buck & Doe Trust chair Amy McKenna, the award “is in honor of Frolic Weymouth, fellow supporters and eased landowners for their foresight and efforts into the land conservation movement."
