The McHenry County Conservation District is seeking nominations of individuals who have been “conservation champions” for the public lands of McHenry County.
To nominate someone for a Conservation Champion or Legacy Award, download and submit an electronic nomination form from the district’s website at mccd.me/conservationawards. Nominations will be accepted through Dec. 31.
The Conservation Champion Award recognizes individuals who have made one or more contributions of extraordinary significance or impact to the conservation movement through continued dedication and support of the mission of the MCCD. Significant contributions can include leadership, innovation, environmental legislation, community building, restoration fieldwork, citizen science or donations of money and land.
The Conservation Legacy Award posthumously recognizes contributions that transcend time. Whether the award winner dedicated 10 or 50 years to the local environment, their work lives on past their earthly lifetime. Conservation Legacy Award winners need to have inspired others to become stewards of the land.
