The award honors California farmers, ranchers and other private landowners who demonstrate outstanding stewardship and management of natural resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Leopold Conservation Award celebrates the people and places where innovative and creative thinking and experimentation are taking place,\u201d said Judith Redmond of Full Belly Farm, recipient of the 2014 Leopold Conservation Award. \u201cIf you or a friend include conservation in your daily decision making \u2013 I hope you\u2019ll submit a nomination. It\u2019s okay to brag about good land stewardship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGood intentions and luck take no farmer down the road to profitability and improved land health. Leopold Conservation Award recipients epitomize the creativity, drive and heartfelt conservation commitment it takes,\u201d said Sand County Foundation President Brent Haglund.<\/p>\n\n\n\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, A Sand County Almanac, 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\n\n\n<p>\u201cCalifornia\u2019s future gets brighter only if we all do our part,\u201d said Sustainable&nbsp;Conservation Executive Director Ashley Boren. \u201cThe Leopold Conservation Award celebrates those deserving, but often overlooked, landowner heroes who do their part every day to steward our environment in ways that benefit people and the planet. All California farmers and ranchers committed to sound stewardship should consider applying to show how they\u2019re leading the way to a more vibrant state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Leopold Conservation Award recognizes unique yet replicable strategies a farmer or rancher has developed in managing their land, to be the best steward of the natural resources on their farm or ranch. California farmers and ranchers are the most productive in the world and are trend setters at maximizing the fullest potential of their land to produce food and other agricultural products with the least environmental impacts,\u201d said California Farm Bureau Federation President Paul Wenger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nominations must be postmarked by July 10, 2015, and mailed to Leopold Conservation Award c\/o Sustainable Conservation, 98 Battery Street, Suite 302, San Francisco, CA 94111. The 2015 California Leopold Conservation Award will be presented in December at the California Farm Bureau Federation\u2019s Annual Meeting in Reno.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The California Leopold Conservation Award is possible thanks to generous contributions from many organizations, including The Nature Conservancy, American AgCredit, the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, DuPont Pioneer and The Mosaic Company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For application information, please visit <a href=\"www.leopoldconservationaward.org\">www.leopoldconservationaward.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>ABOUT THE LEOPOLD CONSERVATION AWARD<\/em><br><em>The Leopold Conservation Award is a competitive award that recognizes landowner achievement in voluntary conservation.
