The 2022 winner in the category of Cultural Resource Specialist, Rebecca Cole-Will, Acadia NP, led the development and implementation of co-stewardship of cultural and natural resources at Acadia NP with the Wabanaki people, which include four federally recognized tribes (Maliseet, Micmac, Penobscot, and Passamaquoddy).
Offered annually, the three awards-one for a park superintendent, one for a facility maintenance specialist, and one for a cultural resource specialist-were created to encourage creativity in cultural resource stewardship, management practices and projects, particularly those that may serve as examples or models for programs servicewide. The NPS Director’s Appleman-Judd-Lewis Awards recognize expertise and outstanding contributions to cultural resource stewardship and management by employees.
