Please join the National Military Fish & Wildlife Association in honoring those among us who support the military mission by preserving the natural heritage of our country on DoD lands in this manner – nominate them for a NMFWA award. Any individual can make a nomination (not just NMFWA members) and awards can go to any individual or group fitting the nomination categories.
These awards are our way of honoring the trail-blazing volunteers, natural resource managers, and Military members preserving our national heritage on Military lands. Real change comes through those among us who work tirelessly and encourage others, remove obstacles, build bridges, and get things done despite roadblocks and politics. These are the people who inspire us, change the world one plant or animal or brick at a time - and they remind us that it is still possible to accomplish great things one step at a time.
