Over 80 people were in attendance last night at Camp for the annual earth service awards which recognizes Warren and Washington County teens for the leadership and stewardship for the environment. The winner of the $500 scholarship was Mel Steinberg from Greenwich Schools. Mel conducted a field study that analyzed the effects of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) on eastern red-spotted newts and northern green frogs in the Hudson River. She designed and planned all aspects of the field study, and is planning another study to examine zebra mussels, another invasive species.
We also honored a teacher of the year, Mr. Larry Deso from Corinth Elementary School. Mr. Deso has been a true advocate of exposing his students to the natural world through programs at Chingachgook over the years and was a perfect choice for the award.
Keynote speakers included Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward from the 113th District, and Neil Woodworth, the Executive Director of the Adirondack Mountain Club.
