DULUTH, Minn. - The St. Louis River Alliance (SLRA) is seeking nominations

its watersheds.

"Clean water and a healthy St. Louis River are essential components of our

of the SLRA. "Many citizens of the region make contributions toward
achieving this quality of life for everyone through their work, business
decisions, community involvement and personal lifestyles."

Stewardship efforts can be nominated that have occurred over the past few
years within the watershed of the lower St. Louis, Nemadji or western end of
Lake Superior. Categories include individuals; organizations; schools;
local, state, tribal and federal agencies; business and industry; and the
news media. Self-nominations are accepted.
