2024 Award Nomination Forms Open Now!
Kathleen,
The Washington Wildlife and Recreation Coalition's Fall Celebration is in October, but we're already deep into the planning process. Now, we want your input! Nominate people who inspire
you within the outdoors community.
Here are the three awards that are potentially being given out and the history behind them.
Joan Thomas Award
Created to recognize conservation champions who have worked tirelessly to ensure that the next generation has access to the same beautiful parks, wildlife habitat and working farms that
we enjoy today. Thomas was a pillar and respected leader of the conservation movement in Washington and a founding member of the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Coalition in 1989.
Her commitment to our natural heritage was second to none.
Forward Award
Created to recognize young leaders working tirelessly to protect Washington’s natural places. Awardees use innovative solutions to make the outdoors more accessible for all. Lylianna
Allala, Julianna Hoza, James King, Kim Pham, and Rachel Voss were the inspiration behind the award and the first recipients.
Evans-Lowry Distinguished Leadership Award
Created to recognize the unique contribution Coalition Co-Founders Governor Dan Evans and Governor Mike Lowry made to Washington’s great outdoors. Their unique partnership and bipartisan
leadership were instrumental in building the broad support that remains so critical to the Coalition’s success in preserving Washington's great outdoors. This award is given to individuals
or organizations forging unique collaborations to achieve big things in the outdoors.
Who do you think deserves to be recognized? You can nominate people for one award, two awards, or all three. Fill out this form and let us know what you think!
