Here is the detail on the award:

In 1987 the Patron of the Commonwealth Forestry Association, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, approved the Queen’s Award for Forestry, to recognise outstanding contributions to forestry. The purpose of the Award, is both to recognise the achievements and support the future work of an outstanding mid-career forester. The recipient is the individual who the Selection Committee considers combines exceptional contributions to forestry with an innovative approach to his or her work and the Selection Committee unanimously considered that you were the candidate most closely fulfilling these criteria.
