Who is Karl Mason and what is the Karl
Mason Award?
 Karl Mason served as Pennsylvania’s
first State Environmental Administrator from 1952 until
his death in 1966. Karl’s holistic vision of
environmental management set the pattern for the state
to this day. Karl believed and put into practice the
notion that environmental protection is primarily the
business of professionals who have the skills by virtue
of their scientific training to manage the technical and
scientific complexities of maintaining a safe, healthy
and clean environment.
The Award was created to commemorate his vision of a
strong, well-managed environmental program. Stewardship
of the Karl Mason Award rests with PAEP, but anyone may
submit a nomination to the Association.
The Award is given to a Pennsylvania
person, organization, or project that has made a
significant contribution to the betterment of
Pennsylvania's environment, exemplifying Karl Mason's
vision.
PAEP continues to maintain stewardship of the Karl Mason
Award. Each year, at the PAEP Annual Meeting and
Conference the Karl Mason Award is presented to
meritorious nominees selected by the Board from two
general categories:
-
An Individual who has demonstrated
exemplary leadership in the field of environmental
management.
-
An organization, project or program that
has made a significant contribution toward maintenance
or restoration of Pennsylvania’s Environmental Quality
