“Heroes of Conservation Award”
In 1937, Ducks Unlimited was founded with the mission of conserving, restoring, and
managing wetlands in North America. Today, Ducks Unlimited has 592,388 adult members
and 48,900 youth members in the United States, 139,313 members in Canada, and 4,546
members in Mexico. Each and every member of Ducks Unlimited over the past 77 years has
played an instrumental role in conserving more than 13,206,088 acres of wetlands in North America.
Ducks Unlimited is always looking for new members that share our passion for conservation, which is
the core reason the UW-Green Bay Chapter of Ducks Unlimited was created.
The UW-Green Bay Chapter of Ducks Unlimited was chartered in 2013. The partnership between Ducks
Unlimited and the UW-Green Bay community was destined to succeed. Ducks Unlimited is the leader in
wetland conservation, which thrives from members that have a deep devotion to conservation. UWGreen Bay prides itself in leading the UW system in environmentally friendly practices, sustainability,
and research pertaining to environmental policy. There are many students, faculty, and alumni from
UW-Green Bay that have embraced the vision of the University, and have devoted countless hours
towards research, volunteering, and fundraising to support environmental and conservation projects on
campus, in Brown County, throughout Wisconsin, and across the globe. Needless to say, it was obvious
that Ducks Unlimited and UW-Green Bay was a perfect match!
Today, the UW-Green Bay Chapter of Ducks Unlimited is excited to announce the “Heroes of
Conservation Award.” The purpose of this award is to recognize members of the UW-Green Bay
community that have gone above and beyond in their conservation efforts. There are many individuals
from the UW-Green Bay community that have contributed greatly to conservation and environmental
issues. They do not seek recognition or compensation for the hours they volunteer. They simply care
about leaving the world a better place. That is why it is an honor to recognize these individuals for the
conservation work they have done.
The UW-Green Bay Chapter of Ducks Unlimited will present two awards to members of the UW-Green
Bay community that have gone above and beyond in the name of conservation. One award is reserved
for a current undergraduate or graduate student at UW-Green Bay, while the other award is reserved
for a faculty or alumni member of the UW-Green Bay community. Each award recipient will receive two
dinner tickets to the UW-Green Bay Chapter of Ducks Unlimited Annual Banquet on March 3, 2015 at
The Woods Golf Course in Green Bay, at which the recipients will be presented with an award
recognizing their contributions to conservation. You can nominate someone for this award by filling out
the form below. All nomination forms are due by 11:59 PM on February 16, 2015 to be considered. For
