NBN Awards for Wildlife Recording
The National Biodiversity Network Trust wants to recognise significant achievement and celebrate success in wildlife recording and information sharing in the UK.
So, to do this, the NBN Trust set up a national award scheme, in 2015, in partnership with the Biological Records Centre and the National Forum for Biological Recording. These awards are made annually to individuals, groups of people or to whole organisations that are making outstanding contributions to wildlife recording and improving our understanding of the natural world in the UK.
Nominations for the 2024 NBN Awards closed on Wednesday 3 April.
This year there are seven categories of awards, including two new ones:
- NBN Lifetime Achievement Award 2024 (new Award category)
- NBN Verifier’s Award 2024 (new Award category)
- NBN Award for Terrestrial Wildlife Recording 2024
- NBN Award for Marine Wildlife Recording 2024
- NBN Group Award 2024
- NBN Newcomer Award 2024
- NBN Young Person’s Award 2024 (open to individuals aged 11-20)
The 2024 winners and those who are highly commended will be announced at the NBN Conference in November and will be publicised via social media.
