Environmental Excellence Recognition Program

The Environmental Excellence Recognition Program (EERP) identifies, articulates, and strengthens the culture of conservation, preservation and best practices for the environment.  As such, it serves as a narrative platform in support of work in the categories of innovation, leadership, excellence, education and research.  It also honors one individual each year for lifetime achievement in furthering environmental issues in the community.
