Teacher. Business owner. Neighbor. Friend.

The unsung heroes of carrying for the environment, sustainable practices and stewardship walk among us, and the Stewardship Network of the San Juans wants to ensure that they have their moment in the spotlight: Nominations, please.

Nomination deadline for the StewardShip Network's annual Stewardship Awards is April 27.

Nominations will be accepted in eight separate stewardship categories: shoreline, farmland, woodland, village, business, individual, youth and educator. Guidelines, nomination forms and portraits of previous award winners can be found online at StewardShip Network website; http://www.stewardshipsjc.org/.

Winners will be announced beginning the week of May 21, and at the Network's Sustainable San Juans event, May 27, at San Juan Island's Lime Kiln State Park. A consortium of private and public entities, the Stewardship Network envisions a healthy, thriving ecosystem from land to sea.

Send nominations or questions to the San Juan Preservation Trust, Kathleen Foley, 378-2461, or kathleenf@sjpt.org.
