Manawatu Rangitikei Conservation Awards
Conservation Awards are presented during Conservation Week as an opportunity to celebrate those who work tirelessly to protect and cherish the natural heritage of the Manawatu Rangitikei area.
Linda Campbell asked that Kimbolton School be involved in the presentation of her 2011 Conservation Award
The presentation of these awards is an opportunity for the Department of Conservation to recognise the valuable contribution that businesses, individuals and organisations make to conservation. It's also an opportunity to raise the profile of what is being done in the community and to provide inspiration to others.
Usually, two awards are presented each year - one to an organisation, business or club and one to an individual.
The 2011 Conservation Award winners acknowledged those that educate and inspire communities to get involved in conservation.

2011 Individual award winner
Long-time conservation supporter Linda Campbell is frequently involved in conservation and the great outdoors suring her free time, but it is her work as a role model for students and the wider community as principal of Kimbolton School that really stands out. Throughout her teaching career, Linda has been a driving force behind school involvement in environmental education and activities.
