2008 Winners

Doug and Megan Fotheringham of Glendhu Farming Ltd, Greta Valley have been awarded $4,200 to complete the protective fencing of the Glendhu Bush Remnant (SNA 19). This is a remnant of around 20ha of mountain beech/mixed hardwood and kanuka forest with plenty of bellbird life. The fencing will exclude stock and allow for forest regeneration. Future plans for this block include a public walkway and horse trekking.
Peter McClatchy of Gore Bay has been awarded $4,000 towards wilding pine control at Port Robinson. Wilding pines have been progressively removed over the last 3 years. These funds are to remove the remaining 'hard ones'. The removal of these pines will assist native bush regeneration.
Julian Ball on behalf of the Waipara Valley Promotion Association has been awarded $690 to purchase suitable native plants to be planted by volunteers on the mound supporting the water tank at the Glenmark Domain.
