The Civic Trust is appealing for more judges to help in the quest of raising the profile of the nation’s parks and green spaces as the Green Flag Award scheme continues to grow.

As the Trust’s Liverpool team gears up for the Green Flag Award application Award Round 2006/7, the spotlight is on our dedicated band of Green Flag Award judges who will begin their training at the scheme’s regional training venues in the new year.

Over 500 green space professionals now make up the ever growing network of Green Flag judges who volunteer their time to assess applications. However, judges are always needed to meet the continuing growth in the scheme year on year.

The rewards of becoming a Green Flag Award judge are numerous. As well as the inevitable benefits such as training and personal development, volunteers will join one of the fastest growing networks of green space professionals in England and Wales today and become a member of the judges’ association.

Operations manager, Lorraine Scanlon said: “Our judges are the backbone of the scheme which thrives on the quality, professionalism and experience they bring. And from feedback received, it is clear our judges find the whole experience of assessing a Green Flag Award application a tremendously rewarding one.”
