WA Westpac Education Award category closing date extended to Wednesday 29 June 2011

The 2011 State and Territory Landcare Awards gives everyone across Australia the opportunity to honour the people who make a positive difference to their local environment.

The prestigious Landcare Awards recognise the invaluable work done by committed volunteers across the country on a daily basis protecting and restoring our natural resources. All winners from the 2011 State and Territory Awards will go forward as nominees in the biennial National Landcare Awards which will take place in 2012.

The Westpac Education Award is made to a primary or secondary school or youth group, either as a whole class or special group. The award is for the school/group’s contribution to raising awareness, knowledge and understanding of Landcare amongst students and the community, and for implementing Landcare practices on its own property or within the local community.
