FAYETTEVILLE, Ark., (KNWA/KAFTA) — The city of Fayetteville announces three winners for its 2025 Mayor's Environmental Stewardship Awards on April 15.
This is the fifth year the city has held the awards, which aims to recognize Fayetteville's community members, non-profits, businesses and educators in environmental stewardship through sustainable practices, programs or projects.
'The recipients of these awards are doing work that is meaningful not only in terms of climate resilience but also work that has an impact on resident quality of life,' Mayor Molly Rawn said. 'City staff and Fayetteville residents are sincerely grateful for their hard work, and I'm honored to recognize their passion and dedication to protecting the environment.'
The winners are:
