The Tennessee Wildlife Federation, one of the largest and oldest nonprofits dedicated to the conservation of Tennessee’s wildlife and natural resources, recognized 15 individuals and companies from all corners of the state, including three from the Chattanooga area, for its 56th Annual Conservation Achievement Awards. To ensure the health and safety of this year’s winners, the Federation celebrated the awards virtually on May 19. 

The Chattanooga area award winners are:

• Chairman’s Award - Libby and Frank Duff, with conservation work statewide.

• Wildlife Conservationist of the Year - Greg Vital, with work spanning southeast Tennessee.

• Youth Conservationist of the Year - Cash Daniels.

“This is the Federation’s 56th year hosting the awards and our 75th anniversary as an organization,” said Kendall McCarter, chief development officer for the Federation. “Being our 75th anniversary and after a year when the great outdoors were more important to our daily lives than usual, we are eager to recognize and celebrate those who have gone above and beyond for Tennessee’s natural places.”
