Michael Walker from Smithfield, Egremont has been named as Egremont Town Councils Good Citizen of 2020 (individual category) for his work on the local cycle route.
A spokesperson from the town council said: "Mrs Edna Branthwaite and other regular cycle route users, nominated Mr Walker for his hard work and dedication in making their walks a lot more pleasurable by planting spring bulbs and flowers along the path for all to see and which burst with colour and scent when walking past them.
"Mr Walker carries out this work all by himself in a quiet and unassuming manner, he provides the soil and bulbs and splits them to increase the floral display year on year and Town Councillors deemed him a very worthy winner who should be congratulated on making this cycleway a pleasure to walk and ride along - well done, you are truly a valued member of our community."
