John Macon AwardThis is an award that is unique to Wisconsin to recognize an outstanding member from the Wisconsin Society of American Foresters for their outstanding contributions to forestry in Wisconsin. The award is funded by an endowment from the estate of John W. Macon, a former Timberlands Manager for Consolidated Papers. This award was established in 1979. A listing of past recipients is included below. To nominate someone for this award, you need to send a biographical sketch of the individual and the reason why you're nominating them for the award to State Awards Chair Paul DeLong. Nominations need to be submitted by December 31 each year. The sketch should outline the career of the nominee and anything else about them that'll help distinguish him or her for the award. Once the recipient is chosen, a plaque and certificate are presented at the Spring statewide meeting.
