Chafee Awards
Honoring the memory of the late Senator and his dedication to protecting and preserving the natural environment, the ECRI Education Fund recognized four RI organizations annually for their efforts toward improving the health of the Rhode Island environment.
The awards highlighted the outstanding efforts of Rhode Island groups to promote community sustainability through conservation of our natural resources. The programs and projects recognized may become models for other communities and groups, and in doing so, provide significant benefits to the citizenry, community, ecological system, and natural resources of Rhode Island.
