Karl Mason Project

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
