2013 marked
the 15th year of the Biffa Awards – an annual ceremony which
recognises the dedication and hard work of those delivering some of those
remarkable projects on the ground.
“By drawing on the dedication,
expertise and skills in all parts of the community, individuals can come
together to improve the environment and make their local areas a better place
to live.”
As usual, competition for the Awards was tough this year – more than 240 excellent projects were eligible to enter and of those only 20 were shortlisted for a prize in one of 5 categories.
Part of the Judge's comments.
“There is an emphasis on stories about the natural and historic heritage, drawing on experts from the Trust’s own committee as well as those involved in the Local history society.”
