THE Environment Agency is celebrating its tenth anniversary by asking the public to vote for the most iconic symbol from the environment.

Twelve images have been shortlisted by the agency's staff, including windfarms and a recycling logo. Details can be obtained at www.icons.org.uk. Icons is a not-for-profit organisation set up by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport.

Environment Agency director of corporate affairs Helen McCallum said: "Icons of the Environment is a brilliant way of highlighting why we work so hard to create a better place for wildlife and humans alike."

Jeremy Doyle, Icons' managing director, said: "It will really help to raise awareness of all the environmental treasures we have in England and Wales and will inspire people of all ages to love and protect the wonders of our natural world for generations to come."
