ASHEVILLE — Stephen E. Hendricks, of Asheville, was awarded the 2010 Aldo Leopold Stewardship Award, to be presented Thursday in Washington.
The U.S. Forest Service has given the award for the past two decades for excellence in wilderness stewardship.
It is named in honor of Aldo Leopold, a Forest Service employee in the 1920s, recognized as one of the nation's greatest conservationists and the father of the American wilderness.
Hendricks, a recently retired 32-year Forest Service employee, served as planner/landscape architect for the National Forests in North Carolina for the past eight years.
