The Carson Water Subconservancy District selected Dr. Steve Lewis to receive the 2018 Andy Aldax Carson River Watershed Award for Exemplary Service in Conservation and Protection of the Carson River Watershed.
The award, created in 2007, recognizes individuals or organizations that actively demonstrate a 10-plus year commitment and accomplish plans and projects to improve and sustain the Carson River Watershed.
For over 28 years, Dr. Steve Lewis has worked tirelessly to conserve and sustain the waterways throughout the Carson River Watershed. He has been the Extension Educator in Gardnerville, NV since 1990 and is well-known for his dedication to serving the Carson River community.
Dr. Lewis is a founding member, champion, or sustaining supporter of dozens of movements to conserve our Carson River waters, floodplains, and natural resources. He has organized hundreds of public and private land conservation meetings and voluntarily facilitates planning workshops for local churches, schools, and any group that builds unity in our communities.
He has been a respected technical resource for the Carson River Watershed at well over 4,000 meetings. Through the years, Dr. Lewis has authored numerous brochures and fact sheets about floodplain management and other best management practices for our watershed community.
Always with a smile, a kind word, and a readiness to lend a hand...Steve Lewis, a gentleman and scholar, exemplifies the Andy Aldax spirit and commitment to community and conservation.
