A NEW awards scheme has been launched to recognise the valuable conservation work carried out by young people in the North York Moors National Park.
The Young Rangers Award is being sponsored by a new charity, the North York Moors National Park Trust which is formally launched in Autumn 2017.
The award will recognise the best contributions by people aged 21 or under who have made a meaningful contribution to the National Park.
The winner and runner-up will receive prizes of £750 and £250 respectively to put towards travel to a national park of their choice, on the proviso that they share their insight and findings with the trustees following their visit.
Nominations need to be made before midnight on October 6. To download a nomination form visit www.northyorkmoorstrust.uk
