John Burroughs Medal
(Redirected from Burroughs Medal)
The John Burroughs Medal,[1] named for nature writer John Burroughs (1837–1921), is awarded each year in April by the John Burroughs Association[2] to the author of a book that the association has judged to be distinguished in the field of natural history. Only twice has the award been given to a work of fiction.
