2004 Edward Abbey Memorial Hooved Locust Award

In Friday November 12, 2004 Jon Marvel, WWP executive director, was honored to announce the award this year to John Horning, the executive director of Forest Guardians, for his exceptional work to "Bring the Rule Of Law To Public Lands Ranching".

John has been actively working on the issue of public lands ranching for more than a decade first with the National Wildlife Federation and now with Forest Guardians. His efforts have been instrumental in making major positive changes in how public lands are administered in the southwest. John is a worthy successor to the two previous award winners: long time grazing activist George Wuerthner in 2002 and RangeNet Founder, Larry Walker in 2003.

Congratulations John !!
