On Wednesday, July 17th NCCT had the incredible opportunity to join our partners to honor Dr. Bob Freckmann with the 2024 Harold “Bud” Jordahl Lifetime Achievement Award! The Award was presented by Gathering Waters as part of their annual Land Conservation Leadership Award series.
The ceremony took place at Schmeeckle Reserve, with around 100 people in attendance. Speakers included NCCT Executive Director Chris Radford, UW-Stevens Point Chancellor Thomas Gibson, City of Stevens Point Parks, Recreation, & Forestry Department Director Dan Kremer, Senator Patrick Testin, and Gathering Waters Executive Director Mike Carlson.
During his speech, Bob shared that his career and subsequent contributions to conservation throughout his lifetime never felt like work. He counts himself a lucky person to have found his passion in a field that has a positive impact on his community – a passion that we can all be grateful for!
The Harold “Bud” Jordahl Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes a committed conservation professional or volunteer who has devoted their time, talents, and energy in support of land conservation over their lifetime.
