Carroll County Environmental Advisory Council Seeks Award Nominations

Individuals and groups that have demonstrated and promoted awareness of the environment through their actions and projects may be recognized for their efforts. 

The Carroll County Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) is seeking nominations for the 2012 Environmental Awareness Awards. The purpose of the awards program is to promote awareness of the environment and acknowledge exemplary accomplishments in the protection, conservation, and improvement of our environmental resources.  

The Carroll County Commissioners adopted the Environmental Awareness Awards program in 1990 to recognize individuals and groups that have demonstrated these qualities through their actions or projects.   

Awards are presented biennially to individuals and groups chosen from nominees submitted for consideration by their peers, although self-nominations will be accepted.

 Awards will be granted for endeavors and projects that result in positive benefit to the environment and have the potential for long-term community environmental benefit in each of six categories: individual, institutional, agriculture, business, K-12 student, and college student. 

Nomination criteria and forms, as well as information on how to submit a nomination, are available here. The deadline for nominations is March 1.
