Local communities and individuals who are working to protect and enhance biodiversity are set to be recognised at a special ceremony.

Bionet, the Local Nature Partnership for North East Wales, has opened nominations for its 2024 awards.

Eight categories are open for nominations, with the work of those making a positive impact in their local community set to be recognised at a special at Venue Cymru in February.

A spokesperson said: “We believe it is important to celebrate successes achieved for biodiversity.

“In the face of the ecological emergency, a lot of the news we hear has a negative narrative but there are lots of people making a positive impact through local actions.”

The eight categories open for nominations are:

  1. Young Person’s Award
  2. Community Group Award
  3. Primary School Award
  4. High School Award
  5. Business Award
  6. Biodiversity Friendly Development Award
