Green Hero Awards

posted by rachelc on Mon, 21/11/2011 - 9:41am

Hello! Do you know someone who's campaigned tirelessly to protect a
patch of green space? What about someone who inspires others to do
something for nature? Do you work with groups that have made lots of
noise to champion green spaces and places? If so, they could be a
candidate for the new National Trust Octavia Hill awards.

These new awards are named after Octavia Hill, a Victorian social
reformer and one of the National Trusts founders, who set the standard
in campaigning for green places. Octavia Hill died in 1912, and to mark
this centenary we're launching these awards, in partnership with
Countryfile Magazine, to celebrate individuals and groups (volunteers
and paid staff) that are keeping her legacy alive.

For full details, including how to nominate a group or individual, see
www.nationaltrust.org.uk/octaviaawards
<http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/octaviaawards> . Closing date 16/1/12.

Please feel free to pass this information on to other organisations/
individuals who you think will find it of interest.

Best wishes

Rachel
