The arrangements for the Golden Plover Award have kicked off for 2014 with the announcement of the three nominated estates. More information on Gannochy, Loch Choire and Finzean can be found on the Heather Trust's Golden Plover Award webpage, and the winner will be announced shortly before the Scottish Game Fair 2014, with a presentation ceremony taking place over the weekend.
The winner is presented with a beautiful print by Scottish wildlife artist Colin Woolf; a golden plover commissioned specifically for the first prize in 2013.
The Golden Plover Award is jointly presented by the Heather Trust and GWCT Scotland to recognise progressive, practical and sustainable moorland management in Scotland. The award is open to estates, farms, individuals and syndicates who have shown an outstanding committment to the uplands on a wide range of issues, from grouse production and wader conservation to Carbon storage and rural employment.
