Darrell Dawson, founder of EcoNetwork was awarded the 2011 Port Stephens Medal at the annual Community Awards held at Port Stephens Council on 9 September.
It was a fitting tribute to Darrell, who has been totally devoted to and the driving force of EcoNetwork since its inception in the early 1990s.
The Port Stephens Medal is awarded to individuals or groups for distinguished service to the Port Stephens community.
Darrell has been involved in the protection of the Port Stephens environment for 25 years.
Since becoming EcoNetwork’s founding secretary and later a coordinator, he has played a prominent role in a number of activities, including: protection of native wildlife habitat, expansion of Tomaree National Park, protection of Port Stephens waters from pollution and large scale commercial development, membership of Port Stephens/Myall Lakes Estuary Management Committee and Port Stephens/Great Lakes Marine Park Advisory Committee, initiating the Nelson Bay Town & Foreshore Advisory Group and the Shoal Bay Community Association.
The presentation was attended by more than 100 guests including the Federal Member for Paterson, Bob Baldwin MP; the State Member for Port Stephens, Craig Baumann MP; Port Stephens Mayor Bob Westbury, Deputy Mayor Sally Dover and General Manager Peter Gesling.
Darrell was among 15 residents and groups whose achievements in providing service to the Port Stephens community earned them nominations for Port Stephens Community Awards.
Mr Baumann acknowledged them and their achievements in a report to the NSW Parliament on 14 September.

November 1, 2011 at 4:00 amHello, I have been visiting your website at least once a week and am unsure whether it is an option to sign up to your posts other than by rss? I have seen that a couple of blogs make available E-Mail subscriptions to the latest posts. Is there somehow I can do this here too? Many thanks for any reply! Leana Valliant in Gaocheng

December 21, 2011 at 2:15 amI wish to show appreciation to the writer just for rescuing me from this matter. Right after checking throughout the search engines and coming across things which are not beneficial, I believed my life was gone. Living without the strategies to the problems you have sorted out by means of this posting is a crucial case, and the kind that might have negatively affected my career if I had not encountered your blog. Your actual talents and kindness in touching every part was invaluable. I’m not sure what I would have done if I hadn’t come across such a step like this. I’m able to at this moment look ahead to my future. Thank you very much for this skilled and amazing help. I will not be reluctant to refer your web site to any individual who would like tips on this area.
