Steve Koehn, Maryland State Forester and president of NASF, has been recognized by the Arbor Day Foundation with the Champion of Trees Award for advancing public forestry policy. Koehn played a vital leadership role in the passage of the Maryland Sustainable Forestry Act of 2009. This historic act recognizes that an important way to clean Maryland's vast Chesapeake Bay ecosystem is through healthy forests and could change the way many states view watershed restoration.
