Annual Meeting Update: Turning the Page
Due to the extremely unhealthy air quality, the INHS Annual Meeting that was scheduled for Wednesday, June 7 was cancelled.
It was a very difficult decision, as it’s an opportunity to bring together staff, board, funders, partners, community members, and donors to celebrate the accomplishments of the organization, but the leadership team felt it was within everyone’s best interest considering the unprecedented air quality.
This year’s Annual Meeting theme – Turning the Page – was to focus on the changes, challenges, and triumphs throughout 2022 as the organization worked to find its footing after years of pandemic life.

Below are the recipients of the 2022 INHS Awards.
Florence Hoard Community Beautification Award
Named in honor of a revered member of the Ithaca Garden Club who was a symbol of, and voice for, beautification in the City of Ithaca. Noted for her efforts during the City’s centennial celebration, Florence Hoard organized “plant crusades” to get shoots from area gardens into the yards of downtown residents and was a founder of the popular Mother’s Day Plant Exchange, which is held each year at Ithaca High School.
Today we recognize another devoted community member who has brought the beauty of the natural world into the lives of many.
2022 Awardee: Caleb R Thomas, Muralist
INHS Exemplary Service Award
This new award was created in honor of recently-retired INHS board member David Sprague, who dedicated three decades of his life to serving on the INHS Board of Directors. His commitment and dedication to INHS is unparalleled!
2022 Awardee: Patricia Paolangeli who celebrated her 25th year at INHS in 2022!
