We're asking our members to consider submitting a nomination for someone in the beginning or middle of their career who is making an impact.  We are also seeking nominations for our prestigious Spencer Ellis Award, given to a person, program, or organization that has made a significant contribution to the preservation and conservation of the local environment in Maryland. If you submit a nomination, we may reach out to you to discuss the nominee further once the nomination period has closed.
