The Trust hopes to remind citizens of her devotion, energy, and ingenuity by presenting an award in her name to a group whose voluntary activities personified these attributes that Margaret Jones brought to her work.
Born in 1906, Margaret Jones was dedicated to the preservation of the Chesapeake Bay. One of her “pet projects” was a statewide contest with prizes for winners of gasoline station inspections. Margaret Jones had a genius IQ, wrote poetry in her spare time and was a self-taught Latin scholar.
