Coming this October 2024, the Terry Hershey Bayou Stewardship Award Luncheon is a special occasion dedicated to honoring the legacy of Terry Hershey and raising essential funds to support our bayou stewardship initiatives. Established in 2010 by Bayou Preservation Association, this award pays tribute to Terry Hershey, one of the association's co-founders, who played a pivotal role in protecting Houston's waterways.
Originally formed as the Buffalo Bayou Preservation Association in the mid-1960s, a group of passionate homeowners joined forces to safeguard their local bayou. Under the leadership of Terry Hershey and others, the organization evolved into the Bayou Preservation Association, extending its reach to over 2,500 miles of regional waterways.
Each year, the prestigious Terry Hershey Bayou Stewardship Award recognizes individuals in our community who demonstrate exceptional dedication to the conservation, preservation, restoration, and advocacy of Houston's waterways. This year, we are thrilled to announce an expansion of the award criteria also to recognize projects promoting nature-based solutions and sustainable development practices.
In addition to being recognized for their outstanding contributions, the honoree will receive:
- A commemorative plaque in recognition of their dedication and leadership.
- The opportunity to inspire future generations as a role model for young stewards to attain.
- Public acknowledgment and gratitude for their invaluable efforts in protecting and enhancing our waterways.
Join us in celebrating and honoring those who have made significant contributions to protecting, enhancing, and promoting sustainable development practices in our community's waterways. Your support helps us uphold Terry Hershey's legacy and fosters a brighter future of engaging stewards from Houston’s diverse communities in preservation of our treasured bayous.
Together, let's make a difference for our environment and our community. We look forward to seeing you at the Terry Hershey Bayou Stewardship Award Luncheon!
