[edit] WPSA Serventy Conservation Medal
The WPSA Serventy Conservation Medal was inaugurated to commemorate conservation work by members of the Serventy family, the siblings Lucy, Dominic and Vincent Serventy. The award honours conservation work that has not been done as part of a professional career for which the person will have been paid and honoured, but for work done for a love of nature and a determination that it should be conserved. The first award of the Medal was made in 1998. People and organisations who have been awarded the Medal are:
- 1998 – Margaret Thorsborne
