A Manchester-area family has been recognized for their conservation work and is being awarded the 2025 Walter Wolfgang Memorial Conservation Farmer of the Year Award by the Washtenaw County Conservation District (WCCD).
The Walter Wolfgang Memorial Conservation Farmer of the Year Award is presented to outstanding conservation farmers in Washtenaw County, selected by the District Board of Directors. The WCCD states that this award is presented to farmers who have consistently used conservation measures on their farms not because they are required to do so, but because they want to protect and conserve their land and water resources now and for future generations. It was established in 1977, in memory of Walter Wolfgang, a director on the first Board of Directors of the Washtenaw County Conservation District, when it was organized in 1948. Prior to 1977 it was known as the Conservation Farmer of the Year Award.
