Sam Saltonstall, 2021 NRCM People's Choice Award winner
2022 People's Choice Award Nominations Closed
Our People's Choice Award was created to honor someone (or a group) who has gone above and beyond to protect a special place, or helped pass a particular safeguard for Maine’s environment, or worked to stop polluting companies from contaminating our state—a volunteer who has devoted their time and effort to making future generations will enjoy the kind of Maine we know and love today.
Voting for this year's award has ended. The winner will be presented with the award at NRCM's Conservation Leadership Awards event this fall.
(Important note: We cannot consider someone currently sitting on a regulatory board or who is in the Legislature. We also cannot consider someone who is or was serving in a paid position while carrying out the work for which you think they should be nominated. The NRCM People's Choice Award was created to honor people who are working to protect Maine's air, land, water, and wildlife and do this in a volunteer capacity.)
