But who knew?
The
Taranaki Reginal Council has made 16 Environmental Awards for 2017 and, as
always, there was a real buzz at the presentation ceremony on 9 November.
The
overwhelming feedback each time is that so many people aren’t aware of the
fantastic work taking place all over the region to care for and improve the
environment. The awards are a great way to showcase and recognise these efforts.
Presenting
the awards, Council Chair David MacLeod praised the commitment and
determination of the award winners, saying it explains why Taranaki is at the
forefront in environmental achievement in so many ways.
“If there
was a Ranfurly Shield for good work in the environment, we’d have that in our
trophy cabinet too,” he says.
