The Norfolk Community Biodiversity Awards are now open for nominations! Please visit the link below to nominate in one of the 6 available categories.
The awards will be presented and work will be celebrated at a Biodiversity Fair on Saturday 4th October 2025 at the Forum, Norwich.
Award Categories
This year, you can nominate individuals or groups in one of six inspiring categories:
- Young People's Achievement
This award is for individual young people under 25 whose efforts contribute to recording, understanding or action to benefit nature and biodiversity. Young people hold the key to the future for our wildlife so we are looking for those who are inspirational. - Saving Species
This award recognises individual or group efforts to improve the situation for wildlife species or species groups. With so many species in rapid decline action is needed at every level. We are looking for activities that directly benefit species populations or a specific habitat they rely on. - Rivers and Wetlands (excluding ponds)
This award celebrates groups or individuals who have inspired people to connect with their local river and wetland ecosystems. We are looking for activities that have helped communities understand the important role of Norfolk’s river catchments in supporting biodiversity. - Groups
This award recognises the achievements of groups working on biodiversity projects in their local community. Local groups inspire people to recognise and care for their local biodiversity and bring people together to work with a common purpose. We are looking for achievements for the group, as well as for wildlife and habitats. - Spaces for Nature and Wellbeing
This award celebrates spaces within communities for nature and people, whether large or small. This might be enhancing existing spaces or creating new ones. Action at a local level, by local people is vital to ensure a brighter future for biodiversity. - The Richard Waddingham Ponds Award
This award commemorates the great work of Richard Waddingham of Manor Farm, Briston, by recognising the achievements of community groups whose voluntary actions make a difference for water, wildlife and people via ponds in Norfolk.
Each nomination helps to showcase the positive action being taken for wildlife in Norfolk – and winners will be honoured with a framed certificate during a celebratory ceremony at The Forum.
