INHF presents awards that recognize individuals for their commitment to Iowa’s land, water and wildlife.
It is awarded every year to an Iowan who demonstrates extraordinary personal service and commitment to improving the quality of Iowa’s natural environment and who encourages others to do the same. The award often goes to Iowans involved in the conservation community, either in a professional or voluntary capacity, and whose work goes above and beyond normal professional duties.
Funding Information
- Hagie Award winners are presented with a $1,000 prize and a hand-carved sculpture recognizing their conservation achievements.
Eligibility Criteria
- The most important eligibility requirement was defined by the Hagie family: The award should go to an Iowan “who demonstrates an extraordinary personal service and commitment to improving the quality of Iowa’s natural environment and who encourages others to do the same.”
- Most past awards have gone to volunteers. Conservation professionals are eligible to receive the award, but the judges’ focus will be on activities that go above and beyond their job duties.
- The following groups are NOT eligible: posthumous nominations, self-nominations, political officials or candidates. INHF staff are not eligible to be nominated, and may not nominate others.
- Past award recipients range from conservationists to doctors, farmers and retired Iowans. They include people who encourage energy for conservation, provide environmental education, initiate and support county conservation projects, protect and restore their own land or enthusiastically speak for Iowa’s natural resources.
