Grand Canyon Youth’s Annual Confluence Award
Part of the mission of Grand Canyon Youth is to inspire youth to become future stewards of public lands. The Confluence Award is given to someone who demonstrates a commitment to education, conservation and service.
2019 Confluence Award Winner: Annette McGivney
Annette McGivney is an award-winning writer who has been drawn to remote, wild places her entire life. Through her work as a writer, educator and speaker she seeks to inspire others to connect with the natural environment and protect the wilderness. Annette is the longtime Southwest Editor for Backpacker magazine and the author of five nonfiction books. She is also a journalism lecturer at Northern Arizona University. In addition to Backpacker, Annette writes frequently for Outside magazine, The Guardian and Arizona Highways on topics related to Southwest environmental issues.
Annette’s most recent book, Pure Land, won the National Outdoor Book Award in 2018. As part of her efforts with Pure Land, Annette founded the Healing Lands Project in partnership with Grand Canyon Youth and Northern Arizona University’s Family Violence Institute. She has spent the last two years touring the United States doing book events to raise funds and awareness for Healing Lands and, more broadly, spread the message that nature heals trauma.
