The Montana Watershed Coordination Council is seeking nominations for the fifth annual Montana Watershed Stewardship Award through Mar. 1.  

The award is made in recognition of innovative, locally led approaches to restoring and enhancing Montana’s watersheds. Recipients of the 2002 stewardship award included watershed groups working in the Jefferson River and Deep Creek drainages.

  "The aim of the award is to recognize the outstanding work of Montanans each year in local watershed management," said Glenn Phillips, of Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks in Helena.

Anyone may nominate a watershed group, organization or effort.   The award winners may also be nominated for the National Watershed Award sponsored by the Conservation Fund.
