The Nebraska Audubon Society recently recognized Johnsgard's contributions by naming him the recipient of the Fred Thomas Nebraska Stewards Award. The award is given annually to an individual who has had a major impact on conservation in Nebraska. Johnsgard said even though he is retiring from the university, he plans to stay involved. He will continue his work with Audubon Nebraska and The Nature Conservancy. It has been a long and interesting period and I don't plan on slowing down.
Books are simply another way of teaching.
