MADISON - Rep. Todd Novak, R-Dodgeville, received his Land Conservation Leadership award as a Policymaker of the Year on Thursday at the Monona Terrace.

Gathering Waters, the Wisconsin alliance of land trusts, announced in August that Novak would receive one of the awards.

Gathering Waters is a statewide service center for Wisconsin's land trust community. It accomplishes its mission by promoting private, voluntary conservation action and strengthening Wisconsin land trusts through direct services and consulting, government relations, and community outreach. Its mission is to help land trusts, landowners and communities protect the places that make Wisconsin special.

Novak championed the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program in the last state budget and supported stewardship during the budget process.
