Now Accepting 2023 Hugh Hammond Bennett (HHB) Award Nominations

NCPP created the Hugh Hammond Bennett Awards for Conservation Excellence in 2017 to honor the legacy of Hugh Hammond Bennett. By doing so, recognizing producers and conservation planners from within the NCPP partnership who have exemplified outstanding service through development and implementation of sound conservation planning and other conservation techniques.

There are two award categories:

  • The Producer Award will be presented to a producer who demonstrates a commitment to conservation planning, pioneering new opportunities and leadership in the community. The local field office staff that provides assistance to the producer will also receive recognition.
  • The Conservation Planner Award is independent of the producer award and will be given to an individual who demonstrates a high standard of conservation planning and implementation for customers as well as sharing his/her expertise with others.

We encourage you to look at your past or current local/state conservation farmer/rancher award winners as possible nominees for the producer award.

All nominations must be fully completed and submitted by September 1, 2023.
