The plaque was awarded at the 2005 summer camp to commemorate the hard work of hundreds of volunteers at the conclusion of the Echo River bridge project. At the time we had no secure storage area like we have now, and Maple Springs was a shared facility and sometimes things disappeared from there. The? plaque was given to Rick Olson to be placed in the MaCa archives/curated collections and is stored there along with the Vargo tools and the Echo River bridge model.
Two other awards given to the camp are also kept by the park: the 2006 NSS Group Conservation Award that Preston Forsythe accepted for the camp at the NSS convention that year, and the Annual Earth Day Award presented to the camp by the Kentucky Environmental Quality Commission, Environmental and Public Protection Cabinet, Commonwealth of Kentucky.
