Thank you to Otsego County Conservation Association for naming BVA Conservationist of the Year!

We had a strong showing at OCCA’s wonderful annual dinner at Creekside Station, where we were honored to accept the award.

We’re excited to continue working alongside OCCA and our community to advance environmental stewardship and strengthen connections throughout the Butternut Valley.
