National Parks UK Volunteer Awards

National Parks UK Volunteer Awards
Do you know a hard working volunteer in the Cairngorms National Park? If so, why not nominate them in the National Parks UK Volunteer Awards?
Nominations opened this week, with the Volunteer Awards being a way of thanking those people who contribute lots of hours of hard work and dedication, continuing to ensure our National Parks are really special places.
Perhaps it’s someone who helps maintain local footpaths, or a volunteer who surveys habitats or plants trees in their spare time or maybe your local Health Walk leader? And they don’t have to be volunteering directly for the Cairngorms National Park Authority, just so long as their volunteering efforts take place within the Park boundary.
The deadline for nominations is Friday 22nd September 2017 at noon. To nominate someone or to find out more information, all the details are on the National Parks UK website.
