Lois Carr of Seneca Rocks was presented the 57th annual Carroll Green Award on Oct. 23 at the West Virginia Association of Conservation District awards banquet in Flatwoods.
Carr is a Potomac Valley Conservation District supervisor and the WVACD’s second vice president.
The Carroll Greene Award is presented annually to a conservation district supervisor. This award recognizes Carroll Greene’s service and dedication to soil and water conservation. From 1949 to 1979, he served as executive secretary to the West Virginia Soil Conservation committee. Much of what is seen today in West Virginia is thanks to his conservation efforts. To receive this award, a recipient must demonstrate a strong commitment to conservation and agriculture, ensuring that their efforts benefit future generations.
Carr remains actively involved in various activities, including serving with the farm bureau, her local church ministry, and the county farmland protection board. She has also served on local school improvement councils. In addition to all this, she manages the family farm, where she has been implementing conservation practices on her own operation, which includes cow/calf pairs, breeding ewes, and hay production.
