AUGUSTA – The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife is accepting nominations for the 2022 Annual Lifetime Outdoor Achievement Award.
This award honors individuals who are dedicated to the stewardship and wise use of Maine’s natural resources, and who have been or are active in Maine’s rich outdoor traditions. Deadline for submitting nominations is 5 p.m. Friday, Aug. 5.
To be eligible, nominees must have hunted, trapped and fished in Maine for a combined total of 40 years. For example, to meet that requirement an individual may have fished for 20 years, trapped for 10 years and hunted for 10 years; or could have fished for 30 years and hunted for 10 years. Ideal candidates would also be active in mentoring, teaching, or instructing outdoor activities.
Nominations should include the nominee’s name, address, phone number, photograph and a few paragraphs about the individual, their experience in the Maine outdoors, and an explanation of why they are a deserving candidate. Keep in mind that IF&W does not know the candidates, so it is important that the nomination tells about the person with a few paragraphs. The nominator’s contact information should also be included.
Nominations can be sent by email to Emily MacCabe at Emily.MacCabe@maine.gov or by mail to 353 Water St, SHS 41, Augusta, ME 04333. Nomination forms can be downloaded by clicking here.
The recipient or recipients of this year’s Lifetime Outdoor Achievement Award will be selected by a committee of individuals from the department and will be recognized at the Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine Annual Banquet in September.
