The Trustees of SOLF were saddened to learn of the sudden death of Dick Upjohn on January 4, 2012. In May 2011, SOLF chose Dick to receive the Elaine Beals Conservation Award in recognition of his dedication to conservation and environmental education. We will miss his vast knowledge about environmental issues in Southborough. We extend our sympathies to his wife, Sabra, and to the rest of his family.
A Special Thanks

2011 Elaine Beals Award
SOLF has chosen Richard V. Upjohn to receive the Elaine Beals Conservation
Award for 2011. Dick, who grew up in New York City, developed a love of
the outdoors at his family's summer place in the Monadnock region of New
Hampshire. His passion for hiking, birding, and mountain climbing was
honed at a summer camp in the High Peaks area of the Adirondacks where
he worked at a summer camp, and later bought a home. He and his wife Sabra
moved to Southborough with their family in 1960 when he came to Fay School.
He has shared his love of nature with students. To emphasize the need
to conserve resources Dick started the recyling program at Fay. He later
helped establish the recycling program for the town, serving on the Southborough
Recycling Committee. Dick has served the town of Southborough in several
other capacities, serving as a longtime member of the Conservation Commission
and on the Community Preservation Commission. Practicing what he preaches,
he is often seen bicycling about town and continues to stay in shape by
running. SOLF is pleased to recognize a person who has quietly served
the cause of conservation in Southborough.
