Congratulations to Dick Harrington on being awarded the 2009 SFL Chapter Service Award!

Dick Harrington has been an active and hard working member of NYFOA for many years. He is a member of the SFL steering committee and a member of the NYFOA board. He has actively participated in all meetings keeping communication lines between the board and the chapter open.

Dick practices what he preaches. He has a management plan for his property and uses best practices as a steward of his forest land. He lives on his property spending time in the woods and personally harvests the firewood to heat his house. He has a strong connection to the land, his farm and woods.

Dick has worked tirelessly to involve young people in forestry. He has worked with the schools to create activities for high school students and created a link for NYFOA involvement. He has used his many public roles to further the NYFOA objectives, as a member of the Tioga County legislature and as a member of the NYS Fish and Wildlife Management Board as landowner representative. For his hard work, dedication and many accomplishments Dick is deserving of this award. Many thanks to Dick!
