2004 Awards

At its annual meeting in May, 2004, the GPA recognized five individuals for outstanding achievement in the historic and environmental preservation of Guilford for ourselves and future generations.

The CHARLES HUBBARD AWARD for "long-standing service to the historic preservation of Guilford" went to Sally and Fred Richards for their outstanding leadership and work in the preservation and conservation of Guilford land and Long Island Sound. The Richards have also been instrumental in support of the Guilford Land Conservation Trust.

The JANE BERGER AWARD for outstanding contribution "to the preservation of buildings or neighborhoods" was presented to Charles Magby and Linda Anderson for launching and directing the Committee to Save the Guilford Shoreline, one of the first and most successful modern Guilford conservation entities and an inspiration to other conservation groups that followed.

The new MARJORY SCHMITT AWARD for a "distinguished body of work devoted to the enhancement and preservation of the landscape" went to Carolie Evans for lifetime devotion to conservation of Guilford's uncommonly beautiful meadows, woods and marshes through The Nature Conservancy, the Guilford Land Conservation Trust and the Guilford Land Acquisition Committee.
