The
Conservancy sets up an exhibit every fall at the County Fair and at other
venues throughout the year. We sponsor a yearly Schoolchildren's Conservation
Writing Contest designed to give students the opportunity to express what
they feel is the most important landscape, natural area, or historic site
to save in the county. We also give awards to students whose entries in
the countywide annual Science Fair merit recognition for their sound environmental
content.
Heritage
Award
In
2004 the Conservancy established the annual Heritage Award to honor
an individual who has contributed prominently to the protection and
preservation of Charles County's natural environment. The first award
went to Carol Ghebelian, a longtime leader in the Southern Maryland
Audubon Society, organizer of open houses at Chapman State Park, and founding
member of the Conservancy.
