Military Readiness and Conservation Awards

The Military Readiness and Conservation Award was established by Compatible Lands Foundation to recognize Department of Defense Leadership, REPI partners, and landowners who have made significant contributions to furthering the Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration (REPI) program’s mission of protecting our military’s readiness while preserving our environment. Since 2016 CLF has honored key individuals for their contributions that help advance the REPI program.

The Compatible Lands Foundation is pleased to recognize Fred Annand as our Military Readiness and Conservation Award honoree for 2024. Mr. Annand was selected in recognition of his over forty years of dedicated support to our country’s military readiness, native biodiversity, and working lands in North Carolina.

For more information on Fred, please see our May 2024 blog post.
