Since 1989, the program has honored more than 150 champions of wetlands conservation; helped draw local and national media attention to their causes; and played an important role in securing funding for and convincing policy makers to consider seriously the issues they have championed.

The 2010 National Wetlands Awards recipients were honored on May 19, 2010 at this years' Awards Ceremony in the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center.

Also, be sure to check out our new online resource, Leading the Way, to learn more about ways to get involved in wetlands.
