The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) invites Tennesseans to submit nominations for the 2025 Governor’s Environmental Stewardship Awards, which recognize individuals, businesses, and other organizations for their commitment to preserving the state’s natural resources.

“From Mountain City to Memphis, our state is blessed with rich natural resources that will only be around for the future if we invest in them today,” said Gov. Bill Lee. “Tennesseans who invest their time in protecting the environment deserve special recognition, and these awards ensure everyone knows about the conservation work being done in our state.”
