Paying Tribute To Environmental Heroes Teamwork. That’s how wilderness is saved. But teams need leaders, and The Wilderness Society believes in honoring those citizens who have gone above and beyond in their efforts to protect America’s wildlands and wildlife. Over the past year, we have presented the following awards: © Mark Silva Former Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt received our Ansel Adams Award, presented to a current or former federal official who has shown exceptional commitment to conservation and the fostering of an American land ethic. “Bruce is a visionary who, as Arizona’s governor and later as interior secretary, compiled a sterling record,” said William H. Meadows, president of The Wilderness Society. “He capped his government service with the establishment of the 26-million-acre National Landscape Conservation System.” A decade of work to help make this system successful is a major reason why Hansjörg Wyss received the Robert Marshall Award, The Wilderness Society’s highest honor for a private citizen. “Hansjörg and the Wyss Foundation have worked tirelessly to protect America’s natural heritage, particularly in the Rockies,” Meadows said. “Though he is largely unknown to the American people, his © Mark Silva © Robin Sell, BLM Bruce Babbitt Hansjörg Wyss Roy Smith Lauren Oakes generosity is going to make a difference for generations to come.” Wyss has been a member of our Governing Council since 1993. The Olaus and Margaret Murie Award honors frontline state or federal land management employees, or any “young environmentalists,” especially those who are innovative and have taken risks to promote the principles of natural resource conservation. The 2011 recipient was Roy Smith, the key water staffer with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Colorado. “Water is undoubtedly the most contentious environmental issue in this state,” said Suzanne Jones, who directs our work in Colorado, “and ensuring the flow of water to wilderness is critically important. Roy has been extraordinarily effective in making this happen for the Dominguez Canyon Wilderness and BLM lands across the state—and amazingly, does so in a manner that brings people together.” Steve Scauzillo of the San Gabriel Valley Newspapers received the Aldo Leopold Award for Distinguished Editorial Writing. Meadows praised him as “a steadfast voice asking why a road must be built through a state park and what we will lose when a grove of 200 oaks and sycamores—more than a century old—are cut down. He has dared the public to dream of a national recreation area that includes the San Gabriel River in L.A.’s urban backyard.” The Gloria Barron Wilderness Society Scholarship was awarded to Lauren E. Oakes for her proposed research on climate change’s impact on yellow cedar in Alaska’s coastal rain forest. A native of Stamford, Connecticut, who graduated from Brown University, Oakes is a Ph.D. student at Stanford. “This scholarship aims to find the Aldo Leopolds and Rachel Carsons of the future,” says Tom Barron, an author and long-time member of our Governing Council. He established the fellowship Elise Kahl, Melissa Rickert, Meagan Leatherbury Steve Scauzillo to honor his mother, who was a dedicated educator and tireless advocate for wilderness. Three University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point graduate students received Gaylord Nelson Earth Day Fellowships in 2011. Elise Kahl of Perrysburg, Ohio; Meagan Leatherbury of Avondale Estates, Georgia; and Melissa Rickert of Rhinelander, Wisconsin, were recognized for making significant contributions to promoting conservation ethics and environmental education, and for exhibiting future leadership potential in the field of environmental education. We initiated these fellowships in 1990 to honor Earth Day’s founder, former U.S. Senator from Wisconsin Gaylord Nelson, long-time counselor of The Wilderness Society, who died in 2005. 60 1-800-THE-WILD © Steve Menzel/UWSP
