A nominator is asked to describe the merits of the potential award recipient, provide related documentation, and other supporting material of the nominator’s choice.

The “James E. Holden Greenways Volunteer of the Year” award goes to a nominee which provided significant uncompensated hours and expertise to assist the CGT and/or its member organizations during the prior five years. The “Thomas Allen Greenways Partner of the Year” award is presented to the nominee which donated support, resources, items, and/or expertise to assist the CGT and/or its member organizations during the prior five years. “Greenways Neighbor of the Year” is a person, group, business, or entity situated next to the trails or greenways in the three-county area; this award recognizes event-specific or ongoing involvement and assistance by adjacent property owners during the prior five years.

In addition to presentation certificates, award recipients get to select a spot where a serviceberry tree is planted in their honor in the autumn of 2018. A bronze recognition plaque is then installed at the base of the serviceberry tree.
