The award honors California farmers, ranchers and other private landowners who demonstrate outstanding stewardship and management of natural resources.<\/p>\n<p>Given in honor of renowned conservationist Aldo Leopold, the Leopold Conservation Award inspires other landowners by example and provides a visible forum where farmers, ranchers and other private landowners are recognized as conservation leaders. In his influential 1949 book, <em>A Sand County Almanac<\/em>, Leopold called for an ethical relationship between people and the land they own and manage, which he called \u201can evolutionary possibility and an ecological necessity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause approximately half of California is privately owned, farmers, ranchers and other landowners are on the front lines in keeping the state\u2019s environment \u2013 our land, air, water, wildlife and climate \u2013 vibrant,\u201d said Sustainable Conservation Executive Director Ashley Boren. \u201cThe Leopold Conservation Award is proud to celebrate those deserving, but often overlooked, landowner heroes who do their part every day to steward our environment in ways that benefit people, our economy and the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFarmers and ranchers must continually adapt to changing conditions from weather, markets for their products and regulatory compliance,\u201d said Paul Wenger, President of the California Farm Bureau Federation. \u201cThere is no blueprint for growing the unique and diverse cornucopia of crops California is known for, in equally unique and diverse geographical regions throughout our state. The Leopold Conservation Award recognizes those farmers and ranchers who strive to maximize their economic opportunities while also protecting and enhancing the natural resources that are the basic foundation of their farm or ranch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are a number of agriculturalists in California that are caring for the environment through ecologically sound practices and conservation on their farms and ranches,\u201d said 2015 award recipients Jim and Mary Rickert of Prather Ranch.\u00a0\u201cIt&#8217;s an incredible honor to receive the Leopold Conservation Award, and we would like to encourage others to apply for this very prestigious award and share their story with others.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 2016 California Leopold Conservation Award will be presented in December at the California Farm Bureau Federation\u2019s Annual Meeting in Monterey. The award recipient will receive $10,000 and a crystal depicting Aldo Leopold.<\/p>\n<p>Nominations must be postmarked by July 8, 2016, and mailed to Leopold Conservation Award c\/o Sustainable Conservation, 98 Battery Street, Suite 302, San Francisco, CA 94111. Nominations may be submitted on behalf of a landowner, or landowners may nominate themselves.
