The pledge reads: “I pledge to protect and conserve the natural resources of America. I promise to educate future generations so they may become caretakers of our water, air, land and wildlife.” Along with the pledge, two awards are given annually by the magazine to honor an individual in the private sector and one in the public sector. The Outdoor Life Conservation Award was first presented in 1923 to those who “accomplish the greatest good for the sportsmen’s cause in the United States ,” said founder J.A. McGuire. Ordinary people and celebrities have both received the award. Probably the most famous recipient is Jimmy Carter . |
