The Geoffrey Chalk Memorial Fund Travel Scholarship, managed by the British Association of Landscape Industries, is an unrivalled opportunity for a talented and enthusiastic landscaper or landscaping student to travel, with the intention of broadening their landscaping horizons and passing on their newly found knowledge and experience to others within the sector.

The recipient of the scholarship will receive £1,500 to fund travel related to the Landscape Industry.  Past recipients have travelled to South Africa to research the native plants of the Cape, to Japan to visit the UK WorldSkills Competition and to Germany and Holland to investigate the large scale perennial planting style in Europe’s public parks and gardens.  2008 recipient Tom Hedges of BALI member Sentry Groundcare East is travelling to California to research natural swimming pools.

The closing date for nominations for the 2009 Award is Friday 18 September 2009.  The scholarship will be presented to the winning applicant at the 2009 BALI National Landscape Awards ceremony on the 4 December 2009 at the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane, London.
