The purpose of the Hunting Habitat Conservation Award is to recognize those hunts who have made significant and enduring contributions toward the preservation of habitat and biodiversity of its flora and fauna.
There is no greater threat to mounted hunting with hounds than the loss of hunting lands. We recognize hunts who work to preserve land and habitat for the future of the sport.
