John Muir Conservaton Award Nominations Now Being Accepted

John Muir advocated the protection of places of spectacular beauty and wildness. His actions have inspired generations to continue his work throughout the world. Each year since 1978, the John Muir Association has honored those who continue John Muir’s legacy of environmental preservation.

We invite nominations for individuals, nonprofit organizations, businesses and public agencies whose work for the environment has made a difference in their own community or in the world.

For the second year, we will present the John Muir Conservation Award in each of four categories:

1. Conservationist of the Year: For an individual(s) who has excelled in environmental protection, or made significant contributions to the advancement of conservation.

4. Business Conservation Award: For outstanding achievement by a business (other than a nonprofit organization) that promotes environmental protection, or demonstrated significant achievement or leadership in the advancement of environmental protection or conservation.
