Bend, Oregon – The American Alpine Club presented its prestigious David R. Brower Award for conservation to Yvon Chouinard this Saturday, March 31.  A quote from the American Alpine Club’s announcement:

The Brower Award, created in 1991, recognizes leadership and commitmentto preserving mountain regions worldwide. The awardee, whose activepersonal role deserves public recognition, has made an importantdifference as a pathfinder, innovator and on the ground contributor whohas motivated others to take action.

Chouinard, an AAC member since 1963, has long pushed the organization to deepen its commitment to conservation. He calls the recent Alpine Conservation Partnership, announced in January with a $150,000 lead gift from the Argosy Foundation, “the biggest thing the AAC has ever done in the conservation arena.”
