Environment Day Awards
The 2021 Environment Awards celebrate initiatives and activities that our community members are implementing, across four award categories. And the winners are:
Local Sustainability
Andrew Crompton
Andrew works tirelessly as a volunteer at the Waterfall Gully site and gives so much time and incredible knowledge to other volunteers. He even provides extra hours when there are outstanding jobs needing attending. He is an inspiration due to his beliefs in the environment generally and we, as a group of Biodiversity volunteers, are so fortunate to have him as a leader and a font of knowledge.
