Anita Evans, FOYAN Chair, receives prestigious
 Enos A Mills Environmental Education Award

.Anita Evans, Chair of the nonprofit Friends of Youth and Nature (FOYAN), recently received the prestigious Enos A. Mills Award for Exemplary Contributions to Environmental Education. This award is the highest honor presented by Colorado Alliance for Environmental Education each year to an individual for long-term, outstanding achievements and contributions to environmental and outdoor learning. The award is named after Enos A. Mills, a naturalist and author whose passion for environmental protection and education, photographs and writings were largely responsible for the decision by Congress in 1915 to establish Rocky Mountain National Park. Enos Mills spent his life discovering and experiencing nature, and working tirelessly to preserve it by sharing its benefits with others through guiding, writing and photographs. Like Enos Mills, Anita Evans has demonstrated exemplary vision, character, practice, and has made a long lasting and far-reaching impact on the field of environmental education (EE) on the Western Slope of Colorado.  More....
