Essex Region Conservation is seeking nominees who have made a significant environmental impact in the Windsor-Essex region!
“We continue to see remarkable community commitment to environmental actions and stewardship across the Windsor-Essex-Pelee Island region,” says Danielle Breault Stuebing, Director of Communications and Outreach Services. “Volunteers made an incredible impact through stewardship events like tree planting, restoration activities and litter pick-ups.”
The 2025 Conservation Awards will honour and recognize those in the community who have made outstanding contributions towards improving our natural environment.
“Past award winners have created forests and monarch habitats, been involved in massive restoration projects, inspired and engaged others in conservation education activities, and so much more,” Breault Stuebing adds. “With growing concern about the state of our global environment, recognizing those who are taking local action and making a positive impact is important.”
The annual Awards will be presented to individuals or organizations in four categories:
The Youth Award recognizes a youth leader who has undertaken conservation projects and is a student in the elementary or secondary schools of our region.
The Education Award for excellence in educating and engaging others about conservation issues and initiatives.
The Volunteer Award for outstanding effort in volunteering time and services for conservation programs and projects;
The Environmental Achievement Award for programs or projects which have enhanced the region’s sustainability in a significant way. In addition to individuals or organizations, municipalities can also be nominated for environmental achievements.
Nominations can be submitted online at https://essexregionconservation.ca/awards, or nominators can simply write a one page summary of the individual or organizational accomplishments that merit the receipt of the award.
Please be sure to include the category, name, address and phone number of the nominee, in addition to your own name, address and telephone number.
Nominations close Friday, December 13.
The awards, presented since 1992, will be announced at ERCA’s Annual General Meeting in January 2025.
