It’s that time of year when we ask for citizens to highlight and nominate local environmental champions through the Friends of the Credit Conservation Awards program.
The program is an opportunity for the CVC Board of Directors and our staff to celebrate those who deserve recognition for their important work in the watershed. Through your work with partners, community members and businesses, we’re confident you know many deserving candidates whose contributions support a thriving environment that protects, connects, and sustains the Credit River Watershed.
Nominations are open to individuals, companies, and groups in the following nine categories:
- Youth Achievement
- Outstanding Volunteer
- Environmental Awareness
- Landowner Stewardship
- Corporate Leadership
- Green Cities
- Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Leadership
- Legacy Donor

Examples of eligible projects include:
- Landowners who’ve taken action to protect and restore nature on their property.
- Local businesses, municipalities or regional government who have adapted new approaches or green infrastructure.
- Individuals or businesses that donate land or funds to purchase land for its long-term protection.
