The Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts (PACD)/State Conservation Commission's 73rd Joint Annual Conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Sonia Wasco of Narvon was recognized during the event, receiving the Ann Rudd Saxman Conservation District Director Excellence Award. The award is presented to a Conservation District director for outstanding volunteer efforts that have furthered the work of Conservation Districts across the state.
Wasco has been connected to and supported the work of the Lancaster County Conservation District (LCCD) for more than 40 years. She currently serves as a director on the LCCD board of directors, a role she has filled for 12 years after serving as an associate director for 10 years. She is also an active member of the PACD Executive Board, serving as treasurer.
Wasco also serves as the co-director of the Lancaster County Youth Conservation School. For more than 40 years, she has donated her time to facilitate a residential field school for students ages 14 to 16. The school marked its 42nd year this year, when it was presented as a virtual experience co-directed by Conservation District educator Sallie Gregory.
Working with county cooperating agencies or state legislators, Wasco stays informed regarding conservation issues in Pennsylvania.
