Background

Since 1992, Boulder County has honored individuals or groups with its Land Conservation Award for outstanding contributions made to the conservation, preservation and protection of the county’s land-based environmental resources.

These contributions have included achievements in agriculture, wildlife habitat, forestry, open space and conservation education and volunteer services.

Last year’s award recipients were the Van Thuyne family, for excellence in Land Conservation; Sigrid Ueblacker, founder and executive director of the Birds of Prey Foundation, for outstanding contributions made in Environmental Stewardship; Dr. Alan Villavicencio for outstanding achievement in historic preservation of the Cito Barn. The two volunteer awards were presented to Ann Cooper for her outstanding contribution as a natural history volunteer for 30 years and to Clarence Kneebone for outstanding contribution as a volunteer 4-H leader for 39 years.
 

The Boulder County Commissioners will present the awards at date and time to be announced in February 2009.
