In order to accommodate a special event at our 2014 AGM we have brought the AGM forward to mid October (final date to be announced). This necessitates changing the deadline for nominations for our annual plant conservation awards. The new nomination deadline is Monday 1 September.
The purpose of these awards is to acknowledge outstanding contributions to native plant conservation. The award categories are:
- Individual involved in plant conservation
- Plant nursery involved in plant conservation
- School plant conservation project
- Community plant conservation project
- Local authority protecting native plant life
- Young Plant Conservationist of the Year (under 18 years on 30 June 2014)
Information about the awards and nomination forms are available here.
We look forward to your nominations; you can make multiple nominations under
different categories. Anyone is eligible to make nominations, not just Network
members. The awards will be presented at the Network Annual General Meeting to be held in Wellington in October 2014. Nominations close Friday 1 September
2014.
