Celebrating young environmental champions

Congratulations to our Cape York NRM Environmental Award winners — Grace Wapau from Western Cape College in Weipa and Ellie Greaves from Cooktown State School! 

This annual award recognises students who show a genuine passion for caring for Country, protecting natural places and leading sustainable practices.

In Cooktown, the award was presented by Project Officer Bindi Woodland and Director Marilyn Morris.

“Small actions matter. Whether it’s starting a recycling project at school, helping at a beach clean-up, or joining an environmental group, you never know what long-term impact your effort will have,” said Bindi.
