Rick was selected for KTA's highest honor because of his strong support for KTA's mission.

Rick is best known to many KTA members as a regular participant at Trail Crew and Care events, especially on the Chuck Keiper Trail in the Sproul State Forest.

Knowing the importance of trail work and KTA's need for tools and equipment to perform this valuable public service, Rick urged KTA to apply for a Recreational Trails Program Grant and offered advice and encouragement during the submission process.The result was KTA's first successful grant and funds to purchase a trailer and tools.

After this fIrst successful grant, Rick suggested the idea of using "banked" volunteer trail work hours as the matching funds for future DCNR grants that KTA might apply for.This is a new concept that DCNR has accepted.

Rick will retire from DCNR in January, allowing him more time to pursue his outdoor interests, which include trout fishing and hunting.
