The Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts Inc. recently named Rep. Martin Causer recipient of its annual Legislator Leadership Award, citing his work as a strong voice for rural Pennsylvania and his support for the important role conservation districts play in their communities. He has been a leader in the effort to ensure the state’s farmers receive credit for implementing responsible practices to reduce pollutants entering the Commonwealth’s waterways and sponsored legislation to support the state’s Clean and Green program and improve implementation of the Dirt, Gravel and Low-Volume Roads Program. On behalf of the statewide organization, members of the McKean County Conservation District recently presented Causer with the award. Pictured, from left, are McKean County Commissioner Cliff Lane, who serves as a director on both the statewide and local districts; Kerry Fetter, McKean County Conservation District chairman; Causer; and Sandy Thompson, McKean County Conservation District manager.
