Conservation Honors Lowrance, Rice and More at OACD Annual Meeting

Tue, 23 Feb 2010 6:08:15 CST

Conservation Honors Lowrance, Rice and More at OACD Annual Meeting The Oklahoma Association of Conservation Districts honored lawmakers and conservationists during their banquet Monday evening at the Reed Center in Midwest City. Among those that the OACD honored were Fredia Rice of the Cotton County Conservation District and Dan Lowrance of the Stephens County Conservation District. Lowrance and Rice were inducted into the Oklahoma Conservation Hall of Fame.


OACD President Trey Lam handed out three President Awards in 2010- two to lawmakers, State Representative Ken Miller and State Senator Mike Johnson- both the Chairman of Appropriations in their respective bodies. The third Presidents Award given by OACD this year went to Jeanette Nance, who has served the past four years as the Liaison to the Conservation Commission for Governor Brad Henry.


The Oklahoma Association of Conservation Districts Employee of the Year Award went to Coleta Bratten of Dewey County. OACD also gave special legislative awards to Senator Mike Schulz, State Representative Skye McNeil and State Senator Joe Sweeden. They also honored State Conservationist Ron Hilliard of the NRCS, based in Stillwater.


Jeanette Nance, representing Governor Brad Henry, offered a special commendation to Virginia Kidd of Leflore County, as she retires after serving 14 years on the Oklahoma Conservation Commission.


After the awards banquet, we caught up with one of those honored, Dan Lowrance, who was named a member of the Oklahoma Conservation Hall of Fame. We talked with him about the honor and why he has been willing to spend decades of his life involved in the Conservation efforts in Oklahoma and beyond.
