Mira Lloyd Dock Award

Mira Lloyd Dock Outstanding Woman Conservationist Award

#Honor Character Respect

Celebrating the value of the contributions of women to Pennsylvania’s natural resources, the Pennsylvania Forestry Association is pleased to call for nominations for the Mira Lloyd Dock Award.  Mira Lloyd Dock is recognized as the first Pennsylvania woman to lead the way in forest conservation.  In order to honor her outstanding contributions to the foundation of forest conservation in the Commonwealth, her skills as an advocate for Penn’s Woods, and her diligence as a “Friend of the Forest,” it is only appropriate that PFA names this award for her.  Ms. Dock’s character and motivation set the example for future women of conservation, who PFA wishes to recognize for their professional and/or personal commitment to this award.
