GSDC Medal for Excellence in NRM
The GSDC Medal for Excellence in Natural Resource Management celebrated its eighth year in 2009 and attracted an exceptional field of candidates for the award. The medal gives public recognition and a financial reward for outstanding individual achievement and innovation in natural resource management by people working in the Great Southern.
In June 2009, Susanne Dennings from the Malleefowl Preservation Group was presented the sterling silver medal and the $10,000 prize by Terry Redman MLA, the Minister for Agriculture and Food. For the first time there were three (rather than just two) runners-up, all of whom were very strong contenders. Dr Geoff Woodall, Rob and Jennifer Warburton and Bill and Liz Hollingworth each received $1000 in prize money.
Other winners are:
2008 Russel Thomson - Woodanilling

2006 Louise Duxbury - Denmark
2005 Keith Bradby - Albany
2004 Clive Malcolm - Denmark
