Sandy Carruthers, Acting Chief Executive, Department for Environment and Water, accepting the Walking Award for the Park of the Month initiative. 2018 Award category: Special Recognition Award – Group/Organisation
The Government of South Australia’s Department for Environment and Water established the Park of the Month program as a means of promoting our national parks in South Australia. Run in conjunction with Nature Play SA, this has been an exciting program focusing on individual parks with an extensive range of activities, including guided walks and family activities tailored to the features of the park for that month.
The parks featured spread across all of South Australia and promote strong engagement with the local community including the specific local Friends of Parks group.
Walking SA has been a keen promoter of the Parks of the Month program and congratulate the Department on this initiative.
