TRAILBLAZER AWARD
For nearly 30 years, Southampton Trails Preservation Society has honored someone with the TrailBlazer of the Year Award. This award is given to the individual or group who, during that year, has been instrumental in moving forward the goals of STPS.
After a four-year hiatus, we awarded our 2025 honor to Mark Potter, as he completed 8 years as president of the STPS. Who will merit selection for 2026?
