Special Places Awards

The Special Places Award is annually presented to an individual(s) who has significantly benefited the West Virginia Land Trust’s long-range vision for land protection in our state.

This award is given in recognition of a commitment not only to achieving the WVLT conservation objectives for a special piece of property, but also to linking the permanent preservation of that place to broader conservation objectives for West Virginia.
