Leopold Conservation Award nominations sought for Colorado

The Colorado Cattlemen’s Association and the Colorado Cattlemen’s Agricultural Land Trust invite you to submit a nomination for the prestigious Leopold Conservation Award.

The Leopold Conservation Award Program recognizes agricultural landowners who actively exemplify Aldo Leopold’s “land ethic.” The award recognizes and celebrates extraordinary achievement in voluntary conservation by private landowners and provides a prominent platform by which agricultural community leaders are recognized as conservation ambassadors to the general public. The program builds bridges between agriculture, government, environmental organizations, industry and academia to advance the cause of private lands conservation. To learn more about the program please refer to the enclosed brochure or visit leopoldconservationaward.org.
