- Three Brooks Wins Planting Places Award
March 2008
The Three Brooks LNR has won a “Planting Places” award from Sustainability South West. The reserve was one of ten examples of urban greenspaces in the region. The awards aim to showcase greenspaces that are making a host of contributions to the sustainability - from supporting biodiversity and local food/energy production to improving community well-being and inclusion.John Morris and Dave Baker collected the award (a nice carved plaque) at a ceremony held at the Winter Gardens, Weston-Super-Mare on 6th March. The award is a testament to everyone who works so hard on the reserve and on its behalf, including John at South Gloucestershire Council, Paul and Jenny from BTCV and especially all you lovely volunteers.
