This is your opportunity to acknowledge the significant contribution friends, family or colleagues may have made to natural resource management, sustainable agricultural practice or environmental awareness within our greater region.

These awards are open to all members of the community, regardless of engagement within Landcare networks.

General community members are encouraged to nominate someone they believe deserves recognition for their commitment to environmental stewardship.

Categories include Junior Landcare, Youth Leadership, Farming, Individual, Group and Indigenous.

A full list of these categories and their criteria can be found on the Mid Coast 2 Tops website, along with the nomination form.

Nominations will open February 1 until March 14, with judging being undertaken throughout April.

All successful nominators and nominees will be invited to share their work at the awards ceremony in May before the champions are announced.

Successful nominations will be assisted to refine their nominations, and supported throughout the Landcare NSW Awards nominations process for the 2022 state conference.

Anyone with questions is encouraged to get in touch with Regional Landcare co-ordinator, Jessica Leck at mc2t.regionacoord@gmail.com.
