This recognition belongs to everyone who supports the work of OCRCEG. 🌱

This past Wednesday, our representatives and staff attended this year’s FOLAR Community Awards, where OCRCEG was honored with the Community Partner Award, accepted by Delegate Kimberly Pope-Adams on behalf of the organization.

We are grateful for this recognition and for the opportunity to continue working alongside partners and community members to preserve, protect, and strengthen Pocahontas Island and the surrounding region.
