CHN Board Member Named 2008 Hero of Conservation

August 25th, 2008

Field & Stream, the world’s leading outdoor magazine, announced its 2008 Heroes of Conservation on August 25, 2008. The awards recognize sportsmen “dedicated to the grassroots protection of fish, wildlife, and habitat.” Charles Lane, of Charleston, SC and a member of the Board of Directors for the Center for Humans and Nature, was among the seven honorees.

In 1989, Lane helped found the ACE Basin Project. “It’s a unique partnership where we have hunting and other conservation groups usually associated with anti-hunting working to preserve this area for traditional land uses, which includes hunting,” says Lane. The ACE Basin Project has protected over 172,000 acres including 40,000 acres of public hunting land.

The Heroes of Conservation Awards are open to individuals involved in a hunting- and/or fishing-related conservation project that is well under way or completed. Selections are based on a number of factors, including leadership, commitment, project growth and results. The seven heroes will be celebrated at the third annual Heroes of Conservation Awards Gala at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City on September 25, 2008.
