The Nature of Scotland Awards recognise the very best in Scottish nature conservation.
We’re celebrating the inspirational people, projects and partnerships supporting Scotland’s species, and we need your help to find them. Have you made a significant impact for Scotland’s nature in the past three years? Or perhaps you know someone who has?
For over a decade, the Nature of Scotland Awards have recognised the very best in Scottish nature conservation. With the support of our generous sponsors and in partnership with headline sponsor NatureScot, we want to highlight excellence, collaboration and action for nature.
We want to hear from businesses, farmers, non-governmental organisations, schools, community groups and individuals who have supported Scottish species and habitats in the past three years. We’d particularly love to see entrants who are collaborating with partners to make maximum impact for nature. Whether you’d like to showcase your own work or nominate others, the Nature of Scotland Awards are open to all – and it’s free to take part!
The awards feature ten categories in total. This year we’re excited to welcome the return of two very popular categories, focusing on the achievements of young people and the nature tourism sector.
Our Youth Action Award is open to groups of young people aged under 25 who are taking action for nature, whether that’s through enhancing green spaces, conducting citizen science projects or inspiring others to make environmentally-conscious choices.
Our Nature Tourism Award seeks to recognise tourism businesses and initiatives that are going beyond simply reducing their negative impact on the environment and are making a positive difference for nature.
