WYCHAVON District Council's Intelligently Green Awards will be hosted by environmentalist and writer Jonathon Porritt CBE in June.

The awards celebrate and promote green projects, activities and lifestyles, being good for the environment and beneficial to the community.

Wychavon’s awards are part of their Intelligently Green Plan, which focuses on four key themes: construction, energy, food, tourism and green space and transport.

Mr Porritt said: “I’m delighted to be part of Wychavon’s Intelligently Green Awards, and look forward to celebrating what it is that individuals, groups and businesses are doing to protect and improve their local environment.”

The deadline for nominations is Wednesday May 2 and can include nominations for individuals, groups of people, organisations or businesses, as well as being able to nominate themselves or the organisation they work for.

They have to fit into these four award categories: individual and household, business and public sector, community groups and schools colleges and youth groups.

Councillor Emma Stokes, portfolio holder for the environment at Wychavon District Council, said: “We want entrants to make sure they include every inspirational detail as to how their project, business or lifestyle deserves recognition, and we look forward to the challenge of seeing just who is the best in Wychavon at being Intelligently Green.”

A ceremony will take place at Worcestershire Wildlife Trust, Lower Smite Farm on the 7th of June where the winners will be announced.
