Ministry hosts young environmentalists

Youth Forum representative.

Forty-five young people
participated in the 2006
Youth Environment Forum.

Young people around the country can again be involved in the Sir Peter Blake Youth Environment Forum, in Wellington during July.

Delegates will spend a week participating in community projects, voicing their opinions on environmental issues and learning first hand about environmental management.

The forum is led by the Ministry, in partnership with the Sir Peter Blake Trust, and is an excellent opportunity for tomorrow’s environmental leaders to gain experience and skills to take back to their regions.

Budding environmentalists between the ages of 15 and 18 years will be selected by regional councils and territorial local authorities. Applications close soon: contact your local regional council or email youthforum@mfe.govt.nz for more information.
