State Representative Jim Struzzi recently earned recognition by a state conservation group for his efforts in creating environment-related legislation.
At a banquet in Harrisburg on Wednesday, the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts awarded Struzzi with the 2022 Legislative Leadership Award. This award recognizes a legislator for their outstanding efforts that have helped further the activities and accomplishments of the PACD or the state’s 66 county conservation districts.
Indiana County Conservation District Executive Director Doug Beri nominated Struzzi for the award and called him a “great local champion” for the county’s conservation district. He adds that Struzzi “embodies the properties of a true conservation leader.”
In addition to authoring multiple environment-related bills, including ones that address the plugging of abandoned oil and gas wells across the state, Struzzi has supported the amendment of the Recreational Use of Land and Water Act to protect volunteer organizations that landowners invite onto their property to improve recreational use, and he supported project grant applications in the county
