Spirit of the Sojourn Award The Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay Sojourns present a "Spirit of the Sojourn" award to a local watershed hero each year. The award is given for exemplary dedication to watershed stewardship and commitment to fostering a conservation ethic in others. Sojourn planning committee members select the awardee from local nominations - if you know of an unsung hero on the Susquehanna or Patuxent River, feel free to submit them for the award! The 2008 Spirit Award honorees names will be posted here after each sojourn ends.

*Please note that the Patuxent and Susquehanna have confirmed adequate funding for 2008.
