Spring Banquet History
For many years, the Rensselaer Land Trust held their annual membership meeting at Brown's Brewing in downtown Troy. This event was an opportunity for RLT members to gather and share a meal, while also conducting some official RLT business. The Bill Niemi Conservation Leadership and Volunteer of the Year Awards would also be announced, and their winners celebrated.
After a brief hiatus while Rensselaer Land Trust and Rensselaer Plateau Alliance merged our two organizations to form Hudson Taconic Lands, we are ready to bring back this fun event!
Join us once again in Revolution Hall at Brown's Brewing where we will hear from members and leaders about recent HTL news, and also celebrate our awards winners. This luncheon will include a buffet lunch catered by Brown's, and a cash bar featuring Brown's full range of local brews and other beverages. Coffee, tea, and dessert will also be provided.​​
​
Awards
Many years ago, Rensselaer Land Trust created two awards to celebrate our community of conservationists and volunteers. The Bill Niemi Conservationist Leadership Award is presented to a member of the local community who has made a big impact on conservation in the Capital Region. The Volunteer of the Year award is presented to an HTL volunteer who has gone above and beyond in their volunteering.
​
Hudson Taconic Lands is seeking nominations from our community! Please submit the names of who you think should be considered for either (or both) of these awards to our Volunteer Coordinator Kim Murdick at kim@rensselaerplateau.org by March 1, 2025.
Nominations should include your name, the nominee’s full name, full contact information, and a brief summary of their qualifications for the award and/or history of service to local conservation. Nominees will be considered for their work done in 2024.​​
