Communication firm collects Governor's Award

Milford — Heron’s Eye Communications got its Governor’s Award last Friday. Mike Bedrin, Director of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s Northeast Region, officially presented the 2008 Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence for the firm’s work on Nature’s Keepers, an inspirational documentary film about Pike County’s 150-year history of land stewardship and those who are continuing that legacy today. Heron’s Eye was tapped for the annual award last spring. A ceremony and reception, which included representatives of the regional and state conservation community, was held at Grey Towers National Historic Site, the ancestral home of Gifford Pinchot, founder of the U.S. Forest Service and a two-term Pennsylvania governor. Accepting the award were Heron’s Eye Communications Co-founders Krista Gromalski and Sandy Long. “There isn’t a more appropriate place to celebrate a project that highlights Pike County’s conservation legacy than right here at its heart,” said Gromalski. Heron’s Eye Communications is a marketing, publishing and project management firm based in Greeley.
