Muskoka Heritage Foundation looking for candidates for Natural Heritage Awards!

Each year, the Muskoka Heritage Foundation seeks to recognize and honour individuals and families who voluntarily protect their land through good stewardship. Stewardship, simply put, means taking good care of the land through protection, preservation or restoration. Individuals or families who are doing an excellent job are honoured by the awarding of a Natural Heritage Stewardship Award at the Muskoka Heritage Foundation’s Annual General Meeting in October.

At this time, the Muskoka Heritage Foundation is seeking eligible candidates for this year’s awards. There are two categories for award recipients: one for shoreline/rural properties and the other for commercial properties. If you or someone you know would be a suitable candidate, you can find more information on the criteria used to evaluate potential properties, as well as nomination forms, on the Muskoka Heritage Foundation website at http://www.muskokaheritage.org/natural/shorelineawards.asp.

The deadline date for receipt of nominations is July 31.
