For the past decade, Audubon New York [3] has honored individuals who have taken on the conservation plight and advanced the cause. “The award's namesake, Thomas W. Keesee, Jr., spent his lifetime committed to the environment; his support of Audubon helped to ensure that future generations can live healthy lives in a sustainable environment,” states an Audubon press release about the award.
Former Audubon president John Flicker joins the ranks of an ex-governor, state and city parks commissioners, and others in earning this award and being recognized for his work to better the environment.
