Bucks Beautiful Board Member Mike Feeney honored with prestigious industry award

Bucks Beautiful is proud to celebrate board member Mike Feeney receiving the 2026 Fredrick J. Mummert Distinguished Service Award from Pennsylvania Landscape & Nursery Association.

This distinguished award—PLNA’s highest membership honor—recognizes individuals whose careers reflect exceptional leadership, professional excellence, and a lasting commitment to advancing the green industry. It is granted only with unanimous approval from the organization’s board of directors, underscoring the significance of Mike’s contributions.

For more than 40 years, Mike has been a driving force within Pennsylvania’s horticultural community. Through his longstanding involvement with PLNA, including service on the Government Relations Committee and as a past chairman and board member, he has played a critical role in shaping policy, strengthening industry standards, and advancing the association’s mission.

His advocacy work has made a meaningful impact at the state level. Mike has testified before the Pennsylvania Senate Agriculture Committee and collaborated with State Senator Art Hershey on the development of the state’s ACRE law. He also remains actively engaged in initiatives that support the future of the industry, including serving as an original TreeVitalize donor and representing PLNA on the State Invasive Plant Committee.

Closer to home, Mike’s passion for stewardship and community is equally evident. Since purchasing a 55-acre farm in 1984 and expanding it to 325 acres—later recognized as Bucks County Farm of the Year—he has demonstrated a deep commitment to land conservation and responsible growth. His leadership with Bucks Beautiful, including service as a board member and past president, has helped advance beautification and environmental initiatives throughout the region.

While Mike’s influence is far-reaching, he is known for his humility and quiet dedication—often working behind the scenes to support causes he believes in.

We are honored to have Mike as part of the Bucks Beautiful family and extend our heartfelt congratulations on this well-deserved recognition.
