Kyneton resident Claire Moore, Founder and CEO of Sweet Justice is thrilled to receive the inaugural Rotary Melbourne Environmental Sustainability Award. Ms Moore received this award in recognition of her work to support and protect the honey bee population.

“I am very grateful to Rotary Melbourne for their support and I’m really excited at the opportunities to promote the importance of supporting our beekeeping industry”, said Ms Moore today.

“Our bees and the people who look after them play such an important role in our environment. I am really thankful to Rotary Melbourne for supporting my work to train a new generation of beekeepers working to support agriculture and biodiversity.”

The Environmental Sustainability Award comes with a cash prize which Ms Moore is planning to invest into her newly established Bendigo-based Social Enterprise, Sweet Justice. Sweet Justice teaches commercial beekeeping skills within the Victorian justice system and provides post-release employment opportunities to trainees.
