Year 2002 Wetland Stewardship
Award Winners:
Larry Weeks has won the Wetland
Stewardship Award for private stewardship. He has restored wetlands
on the Smurfitt-Stone Container land since 1998 on a volunteer
basis. He's restored over 30 acres of wetlands along the Clark
Fork river, enhancing wetland and wildlife qualities of this
industrial and rapidly developing area.
Gordon Stockstad has won the award for public service.
As an employee of the Montana Department of Transportation,
he started and developed the Montana Wetland and Stream Mitigation
program, creating a model for collaboration, innovation, and
effective wetland mitigation of wetlands destroyed by road building
activities.
