Artist wins Nature award
PA Wellington A New Plymouth botanical illustrator, Mrs Audrey Eagle, has won one of New Zealand’s premier conservation awards, the Loder Cup. Announcing the award, the Minister of Agriculture, Mr Moyle, said that more than 20 years of tireless research, painstaking skill, and accurate artistry had gone into the preparation of Mrs Eagle’s two-volume work, “Eagle’s Trees and
Shrubs of New Zealand (1975 and 1982).” “The production of these two volumes seems possible only because of her patience aha commitment to the cause of preservation and conservation of the native plants of our country,” Mr Moyle said. Although now living in New Plymouth, Mrs Eagle did her main work at Ngaruawahia, where she
Uved for more than 30 years. She was a foundation member of the Waikato branch of the Royal New Zealand Forest and Bird Protection Society in 1952 and has been a member of the Nature Conservation Council since 1979. The Loder Cup was given in 1929 by Mr Gerald Loder, later Lord'Wakehurst, and is presented annually by the Minister of Agriculture.,
