Brevard’s EEL Program Receives National Stewardship Award

Brevard County’s Environmentally Endangered Lands Program (EEL) has received a national award for its excellence in managing natural resources. The Natural Areas Association (NAA) has awarded the Carl N. Becker Stewardship Award, one of the highest honors it bestows, to Brevard’s EEL Program in recognition of excellence and achievement in managing the natural resources of reserves, parks, wilderness, and other protected areas. According to the NAA, the Brevard EEL Program is recognized as one of the true leaders of the conservation and restoration of natural areas at a regional level, as well as an organization that made significant contributions that will effect conservation on a global scale. The EEL Program was established in 1990 to protect the natural habitats of Brevard County by acquiring environmentally sensitive lands for conservation, passive recreation, and environmental education.
