Nominations for the following awards should be submitted by July 1, 2008:

Last year the Coalition for Buzzards Bay was selected as the first recipient of the National Land Trust Excellence Award for the work of its Bay Lands Center, which protected more than 3,000 acres of land from 2001 to 2006. Learn more about the Coalition's ongoing campaign to preserve open space in the watershed by tuning into "Land Conservation on Buzzards Bay," an upcoming piece on WCAI radio, the Cape and Islands NPR station, on Friday, June 6, 2008.
