September 20
was an emotional day for our own Rick Huffman, as he attended a ceremony honoring the Pee Dee Tribe’s Chief Pete Parr’s decades of conservation advocacy and education.
“The Green Tie Award for Lifetime Conservation Achievement,” given annually by the Conservation Voters of South Carolina, only scratches the surface about what a brilliant, transformative figure the Chief has been. So, below are just a few links which we encourage you to follow, if you’d like to feel a jolt of optimism for our collective future! (As Rick summed it up: “It was a sweet day. It gives me hope. Conservation is about people and culture as well as the land. The Chief is all that.”)
