Conservation Award Program

About the Award Program:

The City of North Oaks proudly presents its North Oaks Conservation Award Program. Awards will be given to residents and organizations to recognize excellence in habitat management and wildlife conservation on their property. You may nominate yourself or others.

The goals of the North Oaks Conservation Award program are to acknowledge extraordinary achievement in land management, showcase examples of and encourage sound natural resource management best practices, promote ecosystem awareness, and illustrate the important role of private landowners in the future of our natural resources. 

Projects and activities are sought that demonstrate using best conservation practices in North Oaks. There are currently eight award categories: Wetland and Shoreland Conservation, Water Conservation, Woodland Conservation, Prairie Conservation, Pollinator Conservation, Wildlife Habitat Management, Tick Habitat Control, and Invasive Species Control.

Applications are accepted year-round. All entries are reviewed by an assessment committee. Finalists are evaluated and selected by the North Oaks City Council.
