Richard Johnson Environmental Education Award

The Johnson Award honors the memory of Richard A. Johnson, a well-known orthopedic surgeon in the Allegany County area. He passed away in 1990 leaving a legacy of a caring and dedicated physician, family man, and naturalist. The Laboratory honors his memory through its promotion of environmental education and the people who excel in its practice.

The endowed fund usually provides a $2,500 annual award to recognize local citizens who directly contribute to environmental education in Allegany County or Garrett County, Maryland. The award, which is meant to aid ongoing environmental education efforts, may be given to individuals or to organizations. The award committee intends for the true beneficiaries to be the students of our community who learn from the activities of the environmental education programs.
