Nominations being accepted by Natural Heritage Foundation for 2019 Hagie Heritage Award to honor deserving conservationist

Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation is accepting nominations of a deserving Iowa conservationist for the 2019 Lawrence and Eula Hagie Heritage Award. The annual Hagie Award recognizes Iowans “who have demonstrated an extraordinary personal service and commitment to improving the quality of Iowa’s natural environment and who encourage others to do the same.”

The nomination process is easy and a way to bring deserved recognition to both the nominee and to the nominating organization(s). Previously nominated conservationists can be renominated. Nominations are due July 1. The award generally goes to volunteers, but professional nominees are eligible if their efforts clearly go well beyond their job duties.
