National Wetlands Awards Call for Nominations Now Open, New Nomination Process Announced
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the National Wetlands Awards! As we celebrate this milestone, ELI is introducing a new nomination process. This process is intended to streamline nominations for both nominators and the Selection Committee.
The National Wetlands Awards are presented annually to individuals who have excelled in wetlands protection, restoration, and education. They are administered by the Environmental Law Institute (ELI) and supported by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Federal Highway Administration, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, USDA Forest Service, NOAA Fisheries, and USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. These federal agencies support the program financially, through participation in the selection committee, and/or through participation in the ceremony.
