Since 1996, The Environmental Stewardship Award (TESA) has been awarded annually at the provincial and national level to recognize cattle producers’ leadership in conservation.
Nominees and applicants are selected based on their stewardship practices, accomplishments and goals.
All beef cattle operations in Canada are eligible to apply.
Producers can either be nominated by an individual or organization or apply themselves.
The Ontario recipient is announced and awarded a cash prize of $500 sponsored by RBC Royal Bank at the BFO Annual General Meeting in February.
The recipient then moves forward to compete at the national level in August of each year.
Applications are due on July 1st, 2017.
