All Alabamians have a vested interest in sustaining the quality and future benefits of our environment. Many of our natural resources and the multiple benefits that flow from them are renewable but only under wise management from year to year and from generation to generation. Outstanding progress continues to be made in conserving, managing, and developing Alabama's natural resources.
The W. Kelly Mosley Environmental Awards program seeks to publicly recognize achievements that have resulted in the wiser use of our renewable natural resources. The program is administered by Auburn University and was made possible by a gift from an Auburn alumnus, the late Dr. W. Kelly Mosley of Atlanta, Georgia, and from the John and Mary Franklin Foundation. Who Can Receive the Award?The Achievement Awards are intended for persons whose efforts have not been previously recognized. Almost anyone may be eligible for the awards: youths, adults, practitioners, professionals, technicians, and private citizens. The award is given for activities that have taken place within Alabama. What is the Award?The Achievement award is given for outstanding voluntary efforts in forestry, wildlife, fisheries, soil, water, air, wildflowers, non-game wildlife, environmental education, conservation and urban forestry. This award consists of a certification of recognition, a cash award of up to $500, and a framed, limited - edition reproduction of a forestry/wildlife painting. Nominators of successful recipients will also receive a copy of the framed limited edition print. How to Submit a Nomination?Persons may nominate themselves or any other person whom they believe to be qualified. Nominations may be submitted in writing or on line at any time during the year. The awards will normally be announced twice a year but may be made at any time during the year.
