The deadline to submit nomination forms for the 2010 National Wetlands Awards Program has been extended to January 15, 2010! Nominations are available at www.nationalwetlandsawards.org. For more than 20 years, the National Wetlands Awards program has honored individuals who have demonstrated extraordinary dedication, innovation, and excellence in wetlands conservation. Recipients provide critical examples of how individual citizens across the country can, and do, make a difference in wetlands protection and restoration efforts.
The 2010 National Wetlands Awards Program will honor 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. Organizations and federal employees are not eligible. Award recipients will be recognized at a Capitol Hill ceremony in May 2010.
