2012 National Wetlands Awards: Celebrate outstanding individual contributions to wetlands conservation
Since 1989, the National Wetlands Awards have honored more than 150 individuals who have demonstrated extraordinary effort, innovation, and excellence in wetlands conservation, research, and education. Help us celebrate exceptional leaders in wetlands conservation by nominating someone for this prestigious award. Visit nationalwetlandsawards.org for more information. The deadline for submitting nominations is December 15, 2011. The National Wetlands Awards Program recognizes extraordinary individual achievement in six categories: Education and Outreach; Science Research; Conservation and Restoration; Landowner Stewardship; State, Tribal, and Local Program Development; and Wetland Community Leader. The winners in each category will be honored in a ceremony in May 2012. The awards are administered by the Environmental Law Institute, and supported by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Federal Highway Administration, NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, and USDA Forest Service.
