Trail Owner David Brickley Receives Prestigious Award

The Dahlgren Trail was purchased in 2006 by David G. Brickley. A lifelong advocate and champion of trails, greenways and conservation efforts in Virginia, David recently earned the Boy Scouts of America William T. Hornaday Gold Medal for Distinguished Service to Natural Resource Conservation!

The William T. Hornaday Award, first granted in 1915, is the oldest continuous conservation award given by any organization in the United States. It’s one of the rarest awards given in the Boy Scouts of America, as only 62 people have received the gold medal award since 1915.
