Schools' Award

A Schools Award is running alongside the Marlborough Environment Awards and is open to both primary and secondary schools.

The award recognises projects that enhance the natural environment and use resources and energy efficiently. Judges will look for community benefit, pupil participation, environmental benefit and innovation.

Entries have now closed for the 2010 year. Judges will visit from 16 - 26 November 2010, and the awards will be presented at a function at the Marlborough District Council on 3 December.
