Six Conservation Heroes were honored at the Wm. H. Buckley Farm in the town of Ballston for their contributions to conservation in Saratoga County.
Conservation Heroes are individuals or entities recognized for their extraordinary efforts related to conservation.
Mark Sacco, who hosted the event at his Wm. H. Buckley Farm, is a two-time Conservation Hero. He used some of the proceeds from selling his development rights on his first land easement to purchase an additional 62 acres on adjacent land, which was slated for development and is now permanently conserved as farmland.
Linda, Chad and Amber Barber were honored for their conservation of 463 acres of their 1,200-acre dairy farm in the town of Northumberland, to secure the forage needed for their large dairy herd.
Rick Burke and the Nature Conservancy were awarded for their work in conserving 80 acres of woodland on Irish Hill in the town of Saratoga. Julie Stokes received the award in Burke’s absence, and Peg Olsen represented the Nature Conservancy.
Dolores Arste and David Hickey, represented by daughter Deanna Hadley and her husband Rob, were recognized for conservation of 168 acres straddling the towns of Galway and Providence. The acreage contains woodlands, wetlands, pasture land, and a spring that flows from their land to the Glowegee Creek, a tributary of the Kayaderosseras and into the Saratoga Lake.
