Nominations wanted for Walking Access Awards

Calling all champions of the countryside, or people who know others who are. Nominations are being called for the New Zealand Walking Access Commission's 2014 Walking Access Awards.

Commission Chief Executive Mark Neeson said this year's awards would recognise the leadership, achievements and contributions of people and organisations that are enhancing access opportunities in the outdoors or strengthening our country's walking access heritage.

“These awards are the Commission's way of saying: 'your work is not going unnoticed. New Zealanders from all walks of life will benefit from your efforts, and we are saying thank you on their behalf'.â€
