Phil
Moran wins Burnett Mary Regional Group NRM
Mentor Award 2009
Vanessa Moscato and I recently
nominated Phil Moran (pictured right) for
BMRG’s NRM Mentor Award. Obviously,
this award recognises the long term commitment
(personally and professionally) that Phil
has made to the rehabilitation and regeneration
of our natural environment.
However, this award is also closely related
to Phil’s tireless efforts (he may
refute the tireless bit!) and ability to
pass on his knowledge, empower people and
instil life long passion for our natural
environment, as well as steering numerous
environmental groups and training programs
throughout the region. Just wanted to say
congratulations old man!
