Dave Apsley received the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ Cardinal Award at a special ceremony on July 26 at the Ohio State Fair. As a state specialist for natural resources, Apsley has dedicated his career to seeing that Ohioans – and more specifically those in the Appalachian region – have the science-based information they need to make the best woodland management decisions possible. He has built strong relationships with other organizations and agencies across Ohio which results in even stronger programming. Congratulations, David, this award is well-deserved. We are honored to have you as one of our own.
