HVA received the 2010
Garden Club of America – Millbrook Garden Club Commendation Award given to
individuals or organizations for outstanding service in civic improvement
within the community.
"HVA has been a pioneer
in the preservation and conservation of restoring rivers and protecting
natural places within the Housatonic River Watershed, including the
Tenmile River Basin in New York State, as well as the Litchfield Hills in
Connecticut," Arete Warren, Millbrook Garden Club President, said, when
she conferred the award to Lynn Werner, executive director and Michael
Nesbitt, board of directors treasurer.
She added, "The
Millbrook Garden Club applauds their efforts in educating the public about
these areas. You certainly are 'the green voice of the Housatonic River
Valley."'
These Commendation
Awards are proposed by the Millbrook Garden Club and are reviewed and
