The L.L. Bean Outdoor Hero Awards were recently announced.
Every year the awards are given to individuals, and the non-profits that they represent, who exemplify a dedication to conservation and the advancement of the outdoors. Nominees and finalists range from teenagers, all the way to retired senior citizens.
Notable among this years’ winners is Douglas Dear, who represents our friends at Project Healing Waters.
As a results of being selected as a winner, PHWFF will receive a $5,000 grant to help them continue to provide the wonderful service they provide for our service men and women.
