The new edition will be launched on 22 May on the Award website, and announced in the next issue of this newsletter. 

There are numerous benefits of applying for the Award which include notably a Europe-wide promotion of your achievements.  And should your application be shortlisted for one of the six prizes, you will be invited to attend the Award Ceremony in Brussels where you will get the chance to meet a wide range of actors and stakeholders involved in the policy and practice of implementing Natura 2000.

Visit the Award website now and discover all the benefits of applying and the information to help you reflect on which category would be most fitting to showcase your achievements.  The Commission is happy to receive applications from anyone involved in the management of actions linked to the Natura 2000 network.

Please forward this information to colleagues or organisations in your network who could be interested. Applications will be accepted until 29 September 2023.
