survey, the Korn Canyon drinker maintenance project, the Van Horn exclosure maintenance to protect an important natural spring, and the Fort Huachuca water development installing a 2,200-gallon tank and several drinkers.

I received word that HGC received the Volunteer Award, which was submitted by Scott Lerich, NWTF Regional Biologist for AZ and New Mexico. This award was submitted by Scott at the last minute and was nominated by NWTF just prior to the Convention. Rich Williams, State Chapter President, received the award in our behalf.
This is just another acknowledgement that the Huachuca Gould’s make a difference not only in AZ, but nationally. You and your spouses deserve a huge pat on the back for your long-term commitment and dedication to NWTF, Conservation, Gould’s Turkey, Family, Youth and Education. I am very privileged and honored to be a part of such a great group of individuals that work hard and continue to have the energy to make a difference. Kudos to each and every one of you, past and present. Being active for 21 + years and still going strong is an achievement that is not achieved in Arizona and throughout most of the U.S.
