The Golden Plover judges are now looking for new applicants to get involved in 2017's Award!If you are part of a thriving upland business, farm, croft or estate which balances a number of different land uses, The Heather Trust and Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust would love to hear from you!
You might be a crofter involved in peatland conservation or a forester balancing livestock with tourism - it doesn't matter how big or small your project is, the award is seeking people who can demonstrate a genuine passion for Scotland's uplands, along with a dedication to getting the best out of balanced management.
In previous years, the Golden Plover Award has been based on themes like sheep farming and peatland, but 2017's Award has a particular focus on the north west Highlands, west of the Great Glen and down into Argyllshire and Bute, including the Hebrides. This covers a fantastically broad and diverse area of Scotland, embracing new and exciting terrain for an award which has until now been based largely in the east.
If you would like to take part in the Golden Plover Award 2017, or if you know someone who would, find out more at www.goldenploveraward.co.uk, where there application forms are available to download until the end of February.
