2020 Ohio Wetland Leader Awards
CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

The Ohio Wetlands Association believes it is important to recognize those who have made exceptional contributions to the health of wetlands in Ohio. We are greatly appreciative of the individuals, groups and organizations that are making Ohio better through the wise use, education, protection, and restoration of our wetlands. Each year, at our annual gathering, known as the Ohio Wetland Science Summit, we will recognize worthy examples of the outstanding wetland stewardship that has occurred in the state. The presentations will allow time to celebrate all who are working to move wetlands forward in Ohio but with special recognition for those individuals and organizations receiving the awards. 

The Ohio Wetland Leader awards will cover four aspects of wetland conservation; 

(1) wetland advocacy; 

(2) wetland protection; 

(3) wetland restoration; and 

(4) wetland education.
