Nominations are now open for the 2011 NSW Government Heritage Volunteer Awards.

Whether their contribution is through education, fundraising, historical research, interpretation, management, physical conservation, promotion or undertaking surveys and studies – this is the community’s chance to acknowledge the wonderful work undertaken by volunteers.
