The Oklahoma Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture is proud to join the Sand County Foundation to recognize Oklahoma agriculturists who work to improve soil health, water resources and wildlife habitats within their operation. Applications and nominations are now open for the 2023 Oklahoma Leopold Conservation Award.
Recipients receive a $10,000 award for their dedication to conserving and preserving soil, water resources and wildlife habitats.
Nominations may be submitted on behalf of a landowner, or landowners may apply themselves. Applications are reviewed by an independent panel of agricultural and conservation leaders from Oklahoma. The application can be found at sandcountyfoundation.org/ApplyLCA.
The Oklahoma Leopold Conservation Award application deadline is August 15, 2023. Applications must be emailed to award@sandcountyfoundation.org.
The recipient will be revealed in early 2024 at the Oklahoma Association of Conservation Districts’ Legislative Evening in Oklahoma City.
