conservation small installation award.

Fort Stewart took the installation award in the environmental restoration
category, while Fort A.P. Hill captured the team award. The U.S. Army Garrison
Hawaii won the natural resources conservation team award for the

sustainable.
These winners will go on to compete in the Secretary of Defense
Environmental Awards Program. That competition will be held later this year
with awards presented in a Pentagon ceremony in June.
