YOUNG people carrying out valuable conservation work on the North York Moors are to be recognised through a new annual award scheme.
Nominations are sought for the Young Rangers Award sponsored by a new charity, the North York Moors National Park Trust.
The trust, to be formally launched in the autumn, aims to secure the area's future by supporting the protection and enhancement of the landscape, the wildlife it supports, and keeping local traditions and heritage alive.
The award will recognise the best contributions by young people aged 21 or under who have made a meaningful contribution to conservation, improved visitor access or have worked closely with local communities.
Nominations need to be made before midnight on October 6. For more go to
