1937. In 22–24 August 2017, the Australian Association of Bush Regenerators, Broken Hill City Council, The Barrier Field Naturalists Club, Landcare Broken Hill and Broken Hill Art Exchange, came together with many visitors and local residents in Broken Hill to mark this event, with field trips and an inaugural Albert Morris Ecological Restoration Award dinner. The Award dinner recognised the skills, dedication and community spirit of Albert Morris, Margaret Morris and their many colleagues in the Barrier Field Naturalists Club, the contributions of Broken Hill citizens and community members, and the contributions of the mining industry of Broken Hill, Broken Hill City Council and the New South Wales state government, to the regeneration area project. At the Award dinner the inaugural Albert Morris Award for an Outstanding Ecological Restoration Project was presented "to the Broken Hill Regeneration Reserves Project itself and all those who made it happen from 1936-1958 and those who are still making it happen". The actual award is a sculpture crafted by Badger Bates, a distinguished Barkandji (Paakantji), Broken Hill artist. The sculpture is titled 'Regeneration’ and is made from the wattle "Dead Finish", Acacia tetragonophylla. The 2018 Award was presented at the Society for Ecological Restoration Australasia Conference held in Brisbane, September, 2018, to Murray Local Land Services, recognising the Murray Riverina Travelling Stock Reserves Project.

During a series of visits between 1932 and 1937, Morris (the historical documentation does not record participation by Margaret Morris in the South Australian projects), successfully established an Australian flora plant nursery in Whyalla and developed plantations of Australian flora there and at Iron Knob. He also advised the municipal council of Port Pirie on the possibility of establishing plantations there, although no actual work appears to have been undertaken. Morris initiated two natural regeneration projects in Whyalla, approximately between 1935 and 1937 (precise dates unknown). At Hummock Hill, fencing of the bare site to exclude dairy cattle led to the regeneration of the indigenous flora. The second project was located on the current site of the Ada Ryan Gardens in Whyalla, and involved the management
