County Land Conservation Programs Award
Deadline: November 21, 2008
The Trust for Public Land and the National Association of Counties (NAC) have issued a call for applications for a national award recognizing leadership in countywide land conservation. The County Leadership in Conservation Awards recognizes NAC members who demonstrate leadership, innovation, and excellence in local land conservation and park creation by county leaders across America. Programs for on-going park maintenance and stewardship are not eligible.
To support and recognize the initiatives of counties promoting public investments in land conservation, three awards will be presented each year to NACo-member counties based on small, medium, and large county populations (less than 150,000 people, between 150,000 and 500,000 people, and more than 500,000 people).
Applications will be judged based on a broad range of criteria including leadership, innovation, benefits to underserved populations, and benefits to quality of life and environmental quality. The awards will be presented as part of NACo's Legislative Conference in Washington, DC in March 2009.
