2026 Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient
Dr. M. Rupert Cutler, the first executive director of Blue Ridge Land Conservancy from 1997- 1999, will receive a lifetime achievement award. Dr. Cutler has also served as a member of the board of trustees of the Virginia Outdoors Foundation, the board of the Western Virginia Water Authority, and the Roanoke City Council. He also served as executive director of Explore Park from 1991-1997. A Detroit native, he previously served in the Carter administration and also worked for such organizations as the Wilderness Society, the National Audubon Society, and Defenders of Wildlife. Rupert has left his mark on conservation in the region, most notably at the City of Roanoke’s two marquee parks: Mill Mountain and Carvins Cove. A tireless advocate of permanent protection of both parks, his dreams came to fruition over the past two years as the Roanoke City Council placed conservation easements on both parks. |
