At a dinner last Saturday (February 18, 2012), the El Paso/Trans-Pecos Audubon Society awarded me its Conservation Award. The citation on it read:

"Be it known that Jim Tolbert has richly earned this certificate of conservation achievement in recognition of his tireless, dedicated work to foster greater public awareness and appreciation of the Paso del Norte environment; to promote enlightened public policy with regard to conserving of our region's natural resources; and to secure lasting protection for lands of high ecological, recreational and scenic value."

Past recipients have included Judy Ackerman, Charlie Wakeem, Richard Teschner, John Sproul, Lois Balin, Maria Trunk, Chuck Kooshian, Wynn Anderson, Phil Goodell, Peter Best and Helen Bigelow.
