Clarence Burch Award: Land Stewardship

Posted by Quivira Coalition on July 14, 2014

We are seeking applications for the $20,000 Clarence Burch Award.

The $20,000 Clarence Burch Award is given by Andrew Dunigan and the Dunigan Family, chosen through the Quivira Coalition Board of Directors to honor Clarence Burch, an innovative and enterprising rancher who courageously embraced new ideas and methods of caring for the land and its stewards.

The award recognizes individuals or organizations who lead by example in promoting and accomplishing outstanding stewardship of private and/or public lands that are consistent with the mission of the Quivira Coalition: to build resilience by fostering ecological, economic and social health on western landscapes through education, collaboration, and progressive public and private land stewardship.

The 13th Clarence Burch Award will be presented at a dinner ceremony Friday evening, November 14, 2014, at the conclusion of the 2014 Quivira Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

If you, or someone you know, meets the following criteria, we invite your application or nomination for the Clarence Burch Award.

Application or Nomination Deadline is September 1, 2014
