     Many organizations and individuals have laboured unheralded for 
     
     years to ensure that natural areas remain in Prince Edward Islasnd as 
     
     representatives of our antural heritage. These areas are valuable for 
     
     native plants and animal species and are a part of the Island fabric. 
     
    

    
     Potential recipients are persons who have established natural areas,

     Heritage Award presented in Ottawa by the Hon. Lucien Bouchard, Minister
