Morrow receives national conservation award
State Rep. Johnny Mack Morrow (D, Red Bay) has received the National Conservation Award from the Chief Colbert Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) for his work and dedication to conserving the natural beauty and wildlife of the state of Alabama.
“I am truly humbled by this award,” Morrow said.
“It means a lot to me and my wife, Martha. I could not be more grateful to the Chief Colbert Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution. It truly is a great honor.”
The Daughters of the American Revolution nominated Rep. Morrow for the award. In order for his nomination to be considered by the national DAR organization, they required at least two letters of individual recommendations from Charter Members. Not only did Rep. Morrow achieve the needed letters, he surpassed the amount required.
Then the Chief Colbert Chapter DAR had to prove he was worthy of the national award. They gave evidence of his lifetime of work and dedication to the state’s conservation and wildlife.
Rep. Morrow stood above the rest and was named the “National Conservationist of the Year” by the DAR.
Over the past decade, Rep. Morrow has played a huge role in the conservation of Alabama. He is active not only in his district, but across the state.
Recently, the Rock Bridge Canyon Equestrian Park was made possible due to the efforts of Rep. Morrow and his fellow legislator Sen. Roger Bedford. Morrow and his wife, Martha, even opened their property, Cypress Cove Farm, near Red Bay, which became Site #51 on the North Alabama Birding Trail. Rep. Morrow works hard and diligently to make sure the people of Alabama can appreciate God’s beautiful creation.
Rep. Johnny Mack Morrow was elected to the Alabama House of Representatives in 1990. He received a Masters Degree in Business Administration from Samford University. Morrow retired as a business and economics instructor from Northwest Junior College.
