Planting Places Awards - now open for applications!
01/11/2010 15:52 Applications are now open for the fourth annual Planting Places awards, celebrating top examples of local greenspace across the South West of England. The awards recognise the input of these spaces in supporting healthy, sustainable communities and acknowledge the people who work to make them special. Any public greenspace in the South West of England can be nominated for an award; everything from parks, community gardens and allotments to green routes (ie cycle paths), playing fields and even cemeteries and rooftops. The greenspace can be privately funded, NHS Trust, community, conservation group or council land, but it must be free and accessible to the public, and for public use and enjoyment. This year, ten ‘top example' winners will be chosen, highlighting how local greenspace can have a positive impact on local communities. Visit the Planting Places website for more info and to download the application form. Completed application forms must be returned to SSW by 5pm on 29 January 2011. For more information contact us on 0117 929 0989 or email lynn.gibbons@sustainabilitysouthwest.org.uk.
