Previous Winners
Waste Recycling and Environmental
are the major prize-winners in the Green Apple Awards for the Built Environment and Architectural Heritage 2009.
The trophy was presented by star of screen and stage, author - and keen environmentalist
Kate O’Mara, at Hampton Court Palace on Monday June 29, 2009.
Waste Recycling and Environmental nominated Hill Holt Wood as their project, which won both the Gold and Green Champion award in the Housing Associations category, and the top Champion of Champions Award.
The judges commented “Sustainability is built into this project from all angles. The creation of this community project blending into the woodland is made from local materials using local labour, including youths that were falling through the net into crime. It is conceived as an open public area with community involvement and education at its heart.”
The trophies are awarded annually in recognition of building projects that make an extra effort to enhance their appearance and maintain important pieces of our national heritage.
The award-winning project will have the option of being featured in the next National Treasures guide and if so, the project will also be presented with a prestigious Green Plaque later in the year, during a special prizegiving ceremony at the House of Commons.
The Green Apple Awards campaigns are run by The Green Organisation, an independent, non-political, non-profit organisation that recognises, rewards and promotes environmental best practice around the world.
Their supporters include the Environment Agency, the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management, the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health and various other professional bodies.
National Organiser Roger Wolens commented: “We have had around 200 nominations this year, so they did particularly well to be finalists against some very strong competition.”
