Young Awards

The more we can encourage young people to explore our countryside, whether as individuals or as part of a school project or youth group activity, the more likely it is that the next generation will help to protect Britain’s habitats and wildlife.

This is open to anyone under the age of 18 on 4th June 2010 .
