FSC Preston Montford is an Eco-Centre again




 Preston Montford has become the first English FSC Centre to be re-awarded Eco-Centre status. The Eco-Centre Committee engaged staff from all departments and was ably lead by Tutor Angela Munn considering how all nine areas of Eco-Centre activity could be developed at PM. 

When the award was announced the assessment team from Keep Britain Tidy team wrote “You definitely deserve the award and the actions sit naturally with the ethos of the Centre”. Adrian Pickles the Head of Centre said that he was “particularly pleased that all sections of the Centre had been able to make good contributions to the award process” The photograph shows the Eco-Centre Committee proudly admiring the new Eco-Centre plaque by the Nectar Garden.
 
One product of the eco-centre process is a revised Eco-Code for the Centre.  This is now a more inspirational and aspirational code presented to visitors on arrival and avoids being a guilty list of things to do and not do.
