Guy Waterman Alpine Steward Award 
The Waterman Fund annually presents an Alpine Steward Award. The award is given each year to a person
or organization who has demonstrated a long term commitment to protecting the physical and spiritual qualities of the northeast's
mountain wilderness.
Seeking to remind us of the values that Guy and Laura Waterman wrote about in their books and practiced in their lives, the Stewardship Award honors and thanks people who have shown a lasting commitment to preserving both the physical landscape and the spirit of wildness in the mountains of the northeast. There is only one recipient each year. The deadline for nominations each year is December 1. The award winner is announced at the fund's annual dinner, held in April. Anyone who has been an active steward of the mountains of the northeast can be nominated for The Waterman Fund 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. A letter to the Fund is all that is required to nominate someone. The letter should cite specific examples of the nominee's stewardship of the Northeast wilderness over a period of years, along with other relevant personal or professional experience. Each year's winner will be invited to receive his or her Steward Award at the annual fund dinner. |
