Western Pennsylvania Environmental Awards

May 27, 2015 @ 5:00 pm - 10:00 pm

The Western Pennsylvania Environmental Awards recognizes and honors outstanding achievements of organizations, businesses, and individuals in a wide range of environmental initiatives throughout the region and pays tribute to those that have demonstrated a commitment to environmental excellence, leadership, and accomplishment in their respective fields. The ceremony will feature Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Acting Secretary John Quigley as its keynote speaker.

Four environmental conservation and education programs from throughout Western Pennsylvania will share $20,000 from Dominion and PEC for innovation and effectiveness in making a positive impact on the Western Pennsylvania environment.

With these awards, each winner will designate a $5,000 cash prize to be used in support of a nonprofit environmental program of their choice.

The winners are:
  • Environmental Charter School – Pittsburgh (Allegheny County)
  • McKean County Conservation District – Smethport (McKean County)
  • Paint Creek Regional Watershed Association – Windber (Somerset County)
  • Sustainable Pittsburgh – Pittsburgh (Allegheny County)

By sponsoring these awards, the Pennsylvania Environmental Council (PEC) and Dominion hope to encourage the community to emulate the achievements of the successful nominees, thereby promoting innovative environmental efforts and enhancing the quality of life in Western Pennsylvania. Register for the 2015 Western Pennsylvania Environmental Awards

All four winners were chosen by a group of independent judges of environmental experts and PEC staff in response to a call for entries earlier this year. With these awards, each winner will designate a $5,000 cash prize to be used in support of a nonprofit environmental program of their choice.
