Recipients of the awards are recognized in several categories for actions such as restoring green spaces, advocating for safe places for wildlife, and improving air or water purity.

    “We are very fortunate to have so many dedicated conservationists who are doing great work protecting our environment and natural areas. They are exemplary role models, and the whole community benefits from their work and leadership,” says Acting Mayor Charlie Cornfield. “It is through this collaboration that more of this important work can be accomplished.”
