Excellence in Wilderness Stewardship Awards

The Excellence in Wilderness Stewardship Awards celebrate the outstanding contributions to wilderness stewardship by National Park Service staff and partners. These awards highlight important work in wilderness interpretation and education; management of natural, cultural, and social resources; planning; protection; and maintenance operations.

Award Year

Starting in 2025, all National Park Service national awards were adjusted to reflect the year they were awarded instead of when the work was completed. There were not national wilderness awards titled “2024” to make this adjustment.
