Reid Williams, 2021 Conservationist of the Year

Reid Williams, 2021 Conservationist of the Year

How far are you willing to hike for conservation? Reid Williams offered to put in more than 20 miles a day, by himself, walking and monitoring fence lines on Beatys Butte.

In acknowledgment of his willingness and helpful spirit, ONDA named him our 2021 Conservationist of the Year.
