Amount Granted: $3,000
The new environmental awards will highlight and celebrate youth, individuals, groups, organisations and businesses contributing to better environmental outcomes within the Waimakariri water zone.
This is a great opportunity to nominate yourself or someone you think is an environmental champion.
There will be three categories of awards:
- Group, Organisation or Business: volunteer groups, commercial companies, NGOs, whether formal or informal.
- Individual: An individual, landowner, or member of an organisation.
- Youth: An individual or group, 18 years old or under. May also be eligible for categories 1 and 2.
All projects must align with at least one of the Water Zone Committee’s Action Plan goals.
The awards will be run in conjunction with Waimakariri District Council’s annual Community Awards in September. A panel with a broad range of expertise will assess each application and decide on the winners.
The awards are a chance for the Water Zone Committee to commend individuals, groups and organisations that undertake, champion, or inspire environmental protection, conservation, or restoration, within the zone.
Entries will open in early July and close mid-August 2023. For more information contact Carolyne Latham at avlink@xtra.co.nz.
