Betsey Harris, the moving spirit behind the Monadnock Conservancy, was honored with the Sarah Thorne Award at the recent Saving Special Places conference in Guilford. The Sarah Thorne Conservation Award was created in 2005 to recognize the people who make successful land conservation happen in New Hampshire. Recipients are intended to be those who, in the course of their own conservation efforts, have also enhanced the capacity of others.
Betsey and two others founded the Monadnock Conservancy in 1989 to conserve land in the towns surrounding Mount Monadnock. She also helped establish the Community Conservation Partnership, a collaboration between five organizations with expertise ranging from community planning to conservation training.
