Do you know someone ordinary (yourself included) that is doing something extraordinary for the Lake Superior basin?

Well, then you can nominate them for the eighth annual environmental stewardship award which honors “extraordinary achievement by ordinary people.”

It recognizes citizens who have worked to restore or defend the natural resources of the Lake Super basin.

The award is given out by the Lake Superior Binational Program that consists of both American and Canadian federal, state, provincial and First Nations and tribal governments.

Nominees can be entered into several categories including:  Youth or youth-related group, individual adult, business, industry or a community group like a municipality or a tribe.

Past winners include: lakesuperiorstreams.org and the St. Louis River Citizens Action Committee.

Nominations are due, April 15.

As an added bonus, winners won’t just get the traditional plaque, but an award made by a regional artist.
