With an impressive 139 submissions received, the competition was intense across all nine categories. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who took the time to submit a nomination, and eagerly anticipate celebrating alongside the winners and runners-up at the upcoming NSW Landcare Awards.
Assisting the nominators has been a fantastic opportunity to forge connections with the tireless Landcarers who are actively shaping the landscape of our environment. Amongst the array of submissions, it is noteworthy that the Junior Landcare category stands as the pinnacle of enthusiasm, boasting an impressive 34 nominees passionately vying for recognition.
Witnessing our younger generation as they wholeheartedly engage in hands-on environmental efforts is truly inspiring. However, we must acknowledge that behind every initiative lies the steadfast support of committed educators, without whom these impactful endeavours would not come to fruition.
