Missouri Conservation Heritage Foundation Hosts the 2019 Lewis & Clark Conservation Awards
Each year, the National Lewis & Clark Conservation Awards recognize individuals and organizations that lead the charge for the appreciation and conservation of our natural resources in Missouri and beyond. Recipients of these awards represent leaders in business, philanthropy and conservation.
Meriwether Lewis and William Clark were explorers, scientists, entrepreneurs, geographers, diplomats and frontrunners of conservation in the United States. They overcame significant obstacles and challenges leading the Corps of Discovery through unforeseen circumstances and difficulties to change America forever. Like these famed explorers, MCHF's honorees' incredible commitment and work have charted a course that others have and will continue to follow.
MCHF is recognizing conservation champions who have impacted conservation across the state, as well as across this country. Having an event of this caliber celebrating these efforts showcases our state's commitment to protect our beautiful natural environment for generations to come.
The 2019 Awards Banquet will take place Thursday, Oct. 3 at Bass Pro Shops in Columbia, MO. To register or lean more about the Lewis & Clark Conservation Awards or MCHF,
