America's Original Environmentalists

Without a doubt, those who care most about the health and vitality of their natural resources are the men and women whose livelihood depends on nature's bounty. This truth gives cattlemen the title of "America's Original Environmentalists".

Now, the Alabama Cattlemen's Association is working together with leaders from the Alabama Cooperative Extension System and the Alabama Natural Resources Conservation Service to create the Alabama Environmental Stewards Program to recognize and award cattlemen who are taking diligent steps to conserve and protect their natural resources. Nominations for the program will start at the county level and move on to the district and state level for recognition and awards.

If you or someone you know is interested in participating in this new program, please contact ACES Coordinator of Environmental Stewardship in Animal Agriculture Dr. Frank Owsley at 334-844-1505 or OWSLEWF@auburn.edu.
