The following three finalists have been selected for the 2020 Kansas Leopold Conservation Award: Vance and Louise Ehmke of Healy in Lane County; Josh and Gwen Hoy of Cedar Point in Chase County; and Dwane Roth of Manhattan in Riley County.
The award will be presented at the Kansas Association of Conservation Districts’ 76th Annual Convention in Wichita in November. The award recipient will receive $10,000 and a crystal award.
“Recipients of this award are real-life examples of conservation-minded agriculture,” said Kevin McAleese, Sand County Foundation President and Chief Executive Officer. “These hard-working families are essential to our environment, food system and rural economy.”
