    "Environmental Citizen of the Year" Award

    We annually recognize outstanding leaders in Door County who are making an impact with their conservation efforts.

    Since 1995, DCEC has awarded eleven Conservation Citizen of the Year awards for contributions made to the ecological protection of Door County resources.

    Estelle led the battle to save the integrity of Cave Point Drive near Jacksonport.

    DCEC's First Conservation Citizen of the Year

    Participation in all possible local, county, and state processes, including advisory committees, hearings, testimony, research, letters and lawsuits when all else fails. We unceasingly urge sound zoning and land use regulation.

    Education and inspiration (see the following examples). An informed and dedicated citizenry is needed as local and state governments have proved unwilling to apply the necessary land use controls to prevent further ecological abuses.
