Environment Southland Recognises Restoration Work

There was a prestigious gathering of Southlanders involved in restoration work across the Southland Plains at the recent ES annual Environment Awards. Congratulations to all those people/groups who were put forward for the Awards, but especially those that took out the top place for their extra special work. Congratulations to Brian and Chris Rance for winning the Individual Award, for their work with the Community Nursery and the Otatara Landcare Group; to the Oraka-Aparima Runaka’s Raratoka Project for the Community Group Award; the Commercial Award went to Southern Discoveries for their support of the Sinbad Sanctuary Project; and the School’s Award to Fiordland College and their Kids Restore the Kepler project.
