Meridian Township will be giving out Environmental Stewardship awards in April. The awards recognize residents and organizations that have contributed to the protection of the environment. LeRoy Harvey, Meridian Township recycling and energy coordinator, was a winner in 2010 for his efforts in recycling, energy improvements and assistance with establishing community gardens. “I’ve been doing this kind of work for the township for three years now,” said Harvey. “It all started early in life with a love of fishing, and I just continued to do things that relate to the environment.”
Nominations are being accepted through March 1, and the ceremony will take place at the April 17 township meeting, as close to Earth Day as possible, according to Brown.
