FOR more than 20 years, Todd Dudley has been inspiring and educating the community about the values of the natural environment.

A particular focus has been the Skyline Tier Ecological Restoration Project, where he has worked with all sections of the community, including the forestry industry, to help restore the pine plantation behind Scamander to natural forest.

To date, more than 350ha has been cleared and reseeded and much is now flourishing with plants, animal and bird life.

Mr Dudley won Tasmania’s Pride of Australia award in the environment section earlier this month.
