The award was presented to John and Molly Beard by Steve Correia, president of the SVT's board of directors, during the organization's annual meeting on Oct. 7, according to a community announcement. “Through their donations, purchases and volunteered time, the Beards have helped protect hundreds of acres of land in the region and are known for their conservation generosity from Maine to the coast of Dartmouth,” Correia said in a statement.
