Sheridan Chapter of NSDAR Presents National Conservation Award to SCLT

Sheridan Community Land Trust has announced the Sheridan Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution has selected SCLT to receive a National Conservation Award, recognizing the organization’s long-standing commitment to conservation, stewardship and public education in Sheridan County. Members of the Sheridan Chapter formally presented the award to SCLT during their December meeting.

The nomination was submitted by Sheridan Chapter member Pat Trout, who also serves as the DAR Wyoming State Conservation Committee chair. In the nomination, Trout highlighted the growth and impact of SCLT’s work over nearly two decades, noting the organization “has been a presence in our community for 19 years, recently establishing the Big Goose Natural Area, a community ‘park’ for conservation, history and recreation.”

The National Conservation Award, administered by the DAR Conservation Committee and established in 1909, honors outstanding conservation efforts by individuals and organizations nationwide. Award criteria include excellence in park establishment, resource management, wildlife and nature centers, conservation education, youth leadership and conservation-related media.
