This award, presented annually by the Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania's Board of Directors, recognizes a classroom teacher in southwestern Pennsylvania who, though environmental education teaching, inspires students to become responsible stewards of their environment.

The award will be presented at ASWP's annual banquet and meeting held in May 2001. Encourage young environmental leaders to apply before June 29, 2001. Applications are available online.
