                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ELISE M. STEFANIK

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, July 6, 2018

  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and congratulate 
Daniel Josephson on winning the 2018 Conservationist of the Year award.
  The Adirondack Council's Conservationist of the Year award recognizes 
an individual for contributions to the Council's mission of ensuring 
ecological integrity and wild character of the Adirondack Park. This 
year, Daniel Josephson is recognized for his dedication to research and 
advocacy on behalf of lakes, ponds, and the Honnedaga brook trout in 
the Adirondack Park.
  For more than 30 years, Daniel has advocated for conservation efforts 
in the Adirondacks by working with Cornell University's Adirondack 
Fishery Research Team. He used his strong research and knowledge on the 
impacts of acid rain on lakes and ponds to aid advocates in influencing 
Congress, resulting in legislation that would increase cuts to air 
pollution. Through his passion for communicating scientific knowledge 
to help conservationists promote policy change, Daniel played an 
instrumental role in conserving the beauty and ecological value of the 
Adirondacks.
  On behalf of New York's 21st District, I want to congratulate Daniel 
on his well-deserved award, and thank him for his continued commitment 
to protecting the Adirondack Park, its natural resources, and its 
native species.
