The 14 winners were recognized for their achievements and positive impact on the state’s natural resources in an awards ceremony held in Nashville on June 12.
The Governor’s Environmental Stewardship Awards program recognizes exemplary voluntary actions that improve or protect the environment and natural resources with projects or initiatives that are not required by law or regulations. This marks the 23rd year for the awards program. Thirty-nine professionals from various public and private organizations judged more than 100 nominations to determine the award recipients.
