Anyone who has been an active steward of the mountains of the northeast can be nominated for the Guy Waterman Alpine Steward Award. The nominee can be a volunteer, a government employee, or the employee of a for-profit or nonprofit organization. An organization or group may also be nominated. The ideal nominee would display an enduring, heartfelt commitment to protecting both the physical resource and the spiritual experience of the Northeast backcountry.
