The Manitoba Conservation Districts Association (MCDA) handed out its annual awards at a banquet held earlier this week in Brandon.

Kathi Furniss of the Pembina Valley Conservation District picked up one of the Staff Builder Awards for her 25 years of dedicated work.

Other notable conservation awards went to G & B Farms of Turtle Mountain, Steppler Farms of Pembina Valley, and Stephan and Quinn Schubert of Seine-Rat River.

Award nominees demonstrate good environmental stewardship that relates to the vision of Manitoba's conservation districts.
