Richard Sprenkle on Delaware River Sojourn

Richard G. Sprenkle, recently retired DCNR Deputy Secretary of Conservation and Engineering Services, was honored with a “Lifetime Achievement Award” at an annual awards celebration hosted by the Heritage Conservancy.

Sprenkle retired January 14 from the deputy secretary’s position where he had served since DCNR’s formation in 1995. He oversaw three DCNR bureaus—Recreation and Conservation; Facility Design and Construction; and Topographic and Geologic Survey.

Founded in 1958, the conservancy is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving natural and historic heritage. Working with private landowners, communities and government agencies, the Heritage Conservancy has helped preserve thousands of acres of natural lands and many historic buildings.
