This year we are honoring Marina Castellino, a young Argentine professional who runs Experience Ambientalia, an education program that connects Laguna Mar Chiquita—the saline lake where she grew up—with Mono Lake and other saline lakes in the Western Hemisphere.
Marina has led and coordinated youth programs focused on leadership, science and technology, public policy, and environmental education, connecting hundreds of students with these important ecosystems across the Americas.
Please reserve your ticket with a $100 donation online here, or by calling (760) 647-6595.
The Andrea Lawrence Award celebrates passionate engagement in community and the land; proceeds from the evening go toward helping young people become environmental leaders. We have held this event for more than a decade; this event has been a celebration of the late Andrea Lawrence—see all the recipients of the award here.
Andrea Mead Lawrence was an Olympic double gold medalist, mother of five, visionary environmental leader, 16-year Mono County Supervisor, and advocate for Mono Lake’s protection.
