ENVIRONMENTAL FUND FOR PENNSYLVANIA TO RECEIVE COMMUNICATION AWARD FROM PRESERVATION PENNSYLVANIA

HARRISBURG (April 5, 2000) - The Environmental Fund for Pennsylvania (EFP) will be presented a Communication Award by Preservation Pennsylvania in partnership with the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission on April 12, 2000.

The award is given in recognition of exceptional quality preservation publications or outstanding media coverage of a local, regional or state preservation issue.

EFP was nominated for its GreenWorks for Pennsylvania monthly television program that showcases people taking positive steps to preserve and protect Pennsylvania's environment and historic communities.

"GreenWorks is a show that says you can do it, and then proceeds to show people how," said Timothy Schlitzer, Executive Director of EFP.

Also nominated for the award was GreenWorks.tv, the first video website dedicated to delivering video programs to web users on how being green can work for them.

"GreenWorks.tv contains the largest selection of environmental video programming available online," said Christine Milbank, Coordinating Producer for GreenWorksChannel.org.

Two videos "Shaping Our Communities" and "Faces of the Farm" were included with the nomination and deal with the issue of urban sprawl.

A complimentary dinner will follow the presentation of the handmade Mercer tile award which will be framed, mounted and inscribed.

"We will accept the award with great honor," said EFP Executive Director, Timothy Schlitzer.
