Camile Smith of Crawford County Community Fund (CCCF) graciously recognized CSP for, “out-of-the-box thinking that promotes regionalism, cooperation among communities or organizations, creative strategies or innovative approaches to long-term problems, or diversity awareness…

They are a non-profit organization bringing together citizens who recognize the importance of good stewardship and the wide and lasting negative impact of ill-advised anti-environmental practices. Although we could place this nomination in Community Leadership, or Tourism, or even Education, we chose Above & Beyond for their tireless all-encompassing nature…

Leadership in the stewardship of the land makes CSP a force for the future in the county and well beyond. The wisdom to cooperate with other groups to fulfill shared goals is a model for community-building.”
