The Ted Trueblood Award is presented by BHA for exceptional communications work informing and inspiring people for the benefit of public lands, waters and wildlife. Don and Lori Thomas are the 2021 Trueblood award honorees. Two individuals who both are experts in communicating the outdoors experience with passion and grace, Lori shoots evocative photographs that have appeared in dozens of books and magazines, while Don is a giant in North American outdoor writing, on the masthead of numerous publications (including as co-editor of Traditional Bowhunter magazine, winner of the first Trueblood award ever presented) and author of 20 books.
“Don is an outspoken advocate for public lands and waters who’s known for never suffering fools gladly and for speaking his mind, regardless of personal costs,” said Katie McKalip, BHA communications director. “In this respect, I think he embodies some part of the spirit of BHA…that willingness to say the things that need to be said on behalf of the places and opportunities we all hold dear. Lori is an accomplished outdoor photographer who’s supplied hundreds of photos for Don’s writing and whose images are widely published in outdoors media.
“While the work by Don and by Lori stands alone, they are inseparable as a partnership,” McKalip said. “This is worth recognizing as well. Those of us who have experienced a partnership like this know that it exists as part of and also apart from us as individuals. A great partnership makes us stronger, helps us grow and become better, helps ground us and balance us.”
