North West WEA tutor, George Pilkington, has been presented with a Green Apple Award for Environmental Best Practice in the Wildlife and Conservation section for his company Nurturing Nature after competing against more than 500 other nominations.

George has been a WEA tutor since 1994, teaching students about the environment, organic gardening and garden wildlife. His award is the culmination of many years of observations, experiments, designs, redesigns and trawling through scores of academic journals.

The awards were organised by The Green Organisation an independent, non-political, non-activist, non-profit environment group dedicated to recognising and promoting environmental best practice. The awards were presented in the House of Commons on 12 November.
