Baker Consultants Rest and Relaxation Awards 2011

The Baker Consultants team wishes everyone a happy and healthy 2011. And with this new year arrives a new competition at Baker Consultants… nominations are now being received for the 2011 Rest and Relaxation Awards awards.

Anyone involved in the crazy survey season that sees all ecologists red eyed and up at dawn and dusk surveying our protected species knows that a good pub with good grub and a friendly B&B can help ease the pain.

The proprietor has to be willing to hear alarm clocks go off at 3am and provide breakfast/lunch/dinner at 7am after the emergence survey is completed. The pub has to be friendly, serve half decent ale, a satisfying plate of food and not be offended by book reading or snoozing in a corner.

Now, the sites for potential wind farms and new housing or retail developments tend not to be too near to civilisation, so such establishments are few and far between. Thus, the Baker Consultants Rest and Relaxation Awards 2011.

No award was presented last year, but there were some contenders. Nominations are now being received for the 2011 awards which will be decided in September. We’ll get back to you shortly with our highlights of 2010 to whet your appetites.

Happy New Year!
