Awards
Each year the Bergen Swamp Preservation Society honors extraordinary preservation heroes with our Partners in Preservation Awards. These awards were created to recognize esteemed partners who have helped the Society shape some of today’s most crucial preservation wins.
The awards are traditionally presented at the Society’s annual meeting held in Rochester, New York.
The Annual Meeting awards focus on honoring outstanding affiliates. These talented and dedicated preservationists are identified and honored through a nomination process. Award categories include Corporate and Individual.
