Hugh Bland Receives State Conservation Award web posted March 30, 2009  COLUMBIA – Hugh
Bland of Edgefield,
Agricultural Education Instructor and FFA advisor at the Strom Thurmond
Technology Center, has been named recipient of the prestigious State
Conservation Education Merit Award by the SC Chapter of the Soil and
Water Society of America. The presentation of the award was made to Mr.
Bland at the Edgefield County School Board meeting on March 24th by
Hugh Smith, president-elect of the Society. In his presentation, Mr. Smith said, “Mr. Bland had been selected for this award because of his outstanding dedication in promoting and encouraging conservation education and inspiring young adults to pursue careers in the field of soil and water conservation.” According to Mr. Smith, the Soil and Water Conservation of America is a non-profit scientific and educational organization that serves as an advocate for conservation professionals and science-based conservation practices, programs and policy. Membership in the organization comes from nearly every academic discipline and many different public, private and non-profit institutions. Mr. Bland was nominated for the award by John W. Parris, retired executive director of the SC Land Resources Commission and a past president of the Society, who currently serves as the state director of public affairs for Agricultural Education in South Carolina.
