NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION

2013 National Conservation Achievement Awards
Nominations deadline - June 8, 2012

All across America people and organizations inspire us to protect wildlife for our children’s future.  They commit their time and energy not for the credit, but for the results. They do this work because they are called to it – they cannot ignore, or excuse, or wish someone else would take up the call. 

These heroes have stepped up to do their part to protect wildlife and our natural world – please help us identify them and honor them. Click here for the 2013 National Conservation Achievement Awards brochure.

Awards are presented in the 13 categories shown here.  In any given year not all categories will necessarily have an award winner.

• Has the nominee’s contribution resulted from volunteer or work/business-related efforts?
