Winner of the NBN Young Person’s Award for Wildlife Recording 2021 🏆

Uncategorized 1 Minute

I am super excited to be the winner of this years National Biodiversity Network’s Young Person’s Award for Wildlife Recording! 🥇

https://nbn.org.uk/news-events-publications/nbn-awards-for-wildlife-recording/nbn-award-winners-2021/

I spend all of my free time out undertaking wildlife surveys (such as water voles, butterflies, wetland birds, bees and farmland birds), small mammal trapping, bird ringing for the BTO and volunteering for so many other wildlife and nature organisations and charities, so to get an award and recognition for it is very exciting!! 🏆🙌

I wanted to say a massive thank you to Inés Lopez-Doriga (pictured above) who is the main person who got me into wildlife recording by taking me along to all of the surveys she does! She has taught me so much about surveys, how to undertake the properly and the particular species we have recorded! Inés’ enthusiasm for wildlife recording and surveying really inspired me to get out and do the same!

A big thank you to the sponsors of the award: @opticron, @birdpoty, Michael Hoppen and @wmcollinsbooks!

Hey! My name is Izzy Fry, I am a 17 year old aspiring wildlife conservationist living in Wiltshire. During my free time I am always outside looking for wildlife and volunteering my time to local charities and organisations, for example I am a young ambassador for the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust, working to engage new members, I take part in surveys and monitoring for the PTES, I am on the committee for my local Natural History Society and I also take part in the BTO bird ringing scheme! I am currently at school studying Environmental Science, Geography and Biology for A Levels and my plans for after school are to take a gap year and travel the globe to gain new experience and knowledge working in different places before coming back to study wildlife conservation and ecology at uni. I also love to share my photos and experiences on my social media pages and blogs to inspire and encourage a love for nature and wildlife in more people, especially young people!
