Tasman Nelson Environment Awards Nominations Extended
Nominations for the Nelson Tasman Environment Awards 2011 have been extended until Friday 23 September.
Co-organiser Rob Francis says: "We know that there are several nominations in the pipeline but we also know that it’s a particularly busy time so we’ve decided to extend the date. We’d really encourage everyone to take advantage of this extra breathing space and get their nominations in."
Co-organiser Karen Lee adds: "The awards are all about celebrating the great work that is going on in the community. We know it’s happening – now we just need those involved to put their hand up and share their knowledge and achievements with others."
