The search is on for Lincolnshire’s youngest green heroes

​The Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust is on the hunt for youngsters to enter the The Lincolnshire Young Environmentalists Award, an award for eco-friendly children aged under 13 years old.

The Lincolnshire Young Environmentalist Award recognises and rewards the enthusiasm, hard work and commitment of young people by rewarding schools, groups, clubs and individuals for the achievements they make.

Chris Milnes, Chairman of the Awards Organising Committee said: “We're looking for young people who have taken action on environmental issues in their local community.

"From recycling campaigns and local litter picks to helping wildlife, rewilding the garden or growing organic vegetables - if you know any young green heroes, then please consider entering.”

Entries are welcome from schools, youth groups such as scouts and guides, and individuals aged under 13, and the winner will receive a cash prize of £300.

All entrants making it through to the finals will receive a cash prize of £150.
