Professional and Civic Awards Announcement
Due by December 17, 2021
Each year, ORTWS presents five awards to wildlife professionals and stewards in Oregon, who have shown exemplary achievements in the professional or civic arenas. We ask our members, and other representatives from the wildlife community, to submit nominations for individuals and groups they believe deserving of this recognition. Our Awards Committee will review all nominations, and announce winners at our Annual Meeting each February. Our awards include:
- David B. Marshall Award: recognizes an individual for outstanding contributions and accomplishments in wildlife research, management, education, law enforcement, or public service over the course of their lifetime
- Outstanding Service Award: recognizes outstanding contributions in wildlife management in the past year
- Private Landowner Stewardship Award: recognizes private landowners who demonstrate ongoing wildlife conservation programs or positive actions in conjunctions with their commercial operations
- Conservation Award: recognizes individuals, city or county agencies, corporations, or conservation organizations for demonstrating ongoing, positive wildlife conservation or advocacy efforts
- Conservation Policy Award: recognizes legislators, policy professionals, individuals or entities who demonstrate leadership in advancing local, state and/or federal policy that benefits wildlife conservation in Oregon
More information on the awards offered through ORTWS, including detailed award descriptions, nominee requirements, and nomination forms can be found on our Awards page.
