Don Johnson of Festus, MO, one of four finalists for Budweiser’s Conservationist of the Year Award, is a lifelong outdoorsman. He has invested his life in conservation projects from wild elk restoration to implementation of the National Archery in Schools Program. Don continually searches for ways to give back to communities. He works tirelessly as a proponent for Share the Harvest, a program that provides food for the hungry, helps manage the deer herd and promotes greater awareness of the many contributions to society made by hunters. Don is an enthusiastic hunter and angler with true heart, a fantastic standard bearer for conservation! His commitment and perseverance to conservation work can be honored with your vote.
In addition to his dedication with Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, the National Rifle Association and Ducks Unlimited, Don was president of the CFM from 2006 until his appointment to the Missouri Conservation Commission in 2007. While serving as CFM’s president, he held the posts of second and first vice president, and chaired both the Ways & Means and Executive committees and served on many resource committees. His leadership has shaped much of what CFM is today.
Johnson earned a Bachelor of Science degree in zoology from Howard University in Washington D.C. Following college he served as a pilot in the United States Air Force, flying 130 combat missions in Vietnam and earning four Air Medals and two Distinguished Flying Crosses.
