Wild Youth Awards

Get Wild!

Are you aged 11-25 and interested in wildlife and the environment?  Or do you work with young people and want to give them recognition for taking part in your nature based activities? Yorkshire  Wildlife Trust's "Wild Youth Awards" provide a fantastic way to recognise and celebrate the many different ways in which young people can connect with and help the natural world.

These awards have been created by young people and Ulster Wildlife Trust for young people everywhere and are free to participate in. They recognise, reward and celebrate the time young people spend taking part in activities that help them connect with, learn about and care for nature.  The real beauty of the the Awards is that you get to decide what it is you want to do to earn them!
