Nominations invited for River Steward Award

Deadline: 5 pm, October 12th, 2007.

Prairie Rivers Network announces the third annual River Steward Award,  
celebrating Illinois' rivers and those who protect them.  This award  
recognizes individuals who provide us with leadership and inspiration  
to protect the state's rivers and streams for people, fish, and  
wildlife.

Citizens around our state are working to protect Illinois' rivers.   
Too often, their outstanding efforts and successes are not known  
outside of their local community.  Prairie Rivers Network wants to  
recognize and celebrate the people who make these achievements  
possible, sharing their victories and inspiring other river advocates  
around the state.

Who will be the next River Stewards?

River Stewards will be honored at the Prairie Rivers Network's annual  
dinner, November 9, 2007.  The honoree and a guest, as well as the  
nominator, will be invited to attend the dinner for the awards  
ceremony.  The award recipient will also be announced to the river  
conservation community around the state, announced to the media in a  
press release, and posted on our website.

For information on how to nominate the next River Steward, email
