The Nationals Member for Northern Victoria Gaelle Broad has encouraged people to apply for the Victorian Landcare Awards, which close on March 1.
Ms Broad said the awards recognised the contribution that many people were making for the environment and included cash prizes.
“The Victorian Landcare Awards are held every two years and celebrate the outstanding work done by our landcarers and environmental volunteers,” Ms Broad said.
“I encourage people to seriously consider these awards as they are a way to highlight the great work that is being done in our community.
“The awards acknowledge the excellence of individuals, groups, networks, First Nations people, schools and other organisations in caring four our land, water and biodiversity.”
There are five Victoria only Landcare Awards:
- Victorian Farmers Federation/Landcare Victoria Inc. Heather Mitchell Memorial Fellowship
- Dr. Sidney Plowman Travel and Study Award
- Landcare and Environmental Volunteer Group Award
