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 2011 National Wetlands Awards recipients were honored on May 4, 2011 at this years' Awards Ceremony at the U.S. Botanic Garden.
Also, be sure to check out our wetland fact sheets featuring past Award recipient, and our online resource, Leading the Way, to learn more about ways to get involved in wetlands.
