The Wilderness Society - Gaylord Nelson Earth Day Fellowship
In 1990, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Earth Day, The Wilderness Society honored its founder – Senator Gaylord Nelson – by creating the Gaylord Nelson Earth Day Fellowship Program. The fellowships provide a lasting tribute to Senator Nelson – a founding member of the CNR Advisory Board – and the principles of environmental protection and conservation ethics he advocated throughout his lifetime. These awards are given annually to graduate students who have made significant contributions toward promoting conservation ethics and environmental education.
