Dave Morehouse Award Established

Dave Morehouse

Dave Morehouse exemplified dedication and action. Throughout his life he worked as an individual and with groups, usually in leadership positions, to protect this lake that he loved. A pioneer and visionary, Dave became actively involved in protecting the Finger Lakes long before doing so was popular. His passing in the summer of 2002 was a great loss (see Network News Summer 2002).

The Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Organization and the Cayuga Lake Watershed Network have together created the Dave Morehouse Award to honor his contributions and to recognize others who are making a difference to protect our magnificent water resources. Many individuals, businesses, teachers, agricultural producers and community groups are doing wonderful things to preserve and protect our environment. We want to hear from you. Let us know of efforts that make a difference by completing a nomination form, available on our website www.cayugalake.org or by requesting a copy from the office, at 607-532-4104.
