National Park Protector Awards

The National Park Protector Awards are back and bigger than ever for 2024! This year marks the 75th Anniversary of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act of 1949 and we want to celebrate and champion the people who make our Parks what they are today.

This award recognises the contribution of a group, project or initiative that has put nature at the heart of their work. Creating and elevating landscapes that capture the wild spirit of National Parks, keeping them safe for the future.

This award celebrates the people, projects or initiatives that champion and inspire diversity and inclusion in National Parks. Their work embodies the vision of a future where everyone has equal access to National Parks.

This award celebrates devoted young volunteers, or individuals who have gone above and beyond for National Parks. Their passion is unmatched and their dedication to a future where National Parks and Landscapes can thrive is an inspiration.

You could nominate… a young ranger helping people visit responsibly, a campaign group speaking up for youth voice on nature, climate and landscapes or early-career member of staff making waves in your organisation. 

Please note: We are unfortunately unable to accept nominations for individuals under 18.
