THE 2009 Silver Lapwing Awards, the UK’s leading farm conservation competition, is now open for entries.
It is the 40th anniversary of the Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group Awards and, for the first time this year, they are sponsored by Waitrose in association with Coombe Farm Organic.
Heather Jenkins from Waitrose said: “Rewarding those that go the extra mile and who are an example to others is something to be applauded, particularly during difficult economic times when conservation can get ignored and the great work that farmers do, year in year out, is not always fully appreciated.”
Application forms are available from www.fwag.org.uk or Jane Hampson on 02476-698702.
The closing date for entries is May 30.
