Celebrate natures heroes with RSPB Scotland’s Nature of Scotland Awards

Posted: 13th October 2017

Nature of Scotland Awards Presentation DinnerSince the launch of the RSPB Scotland’s Nature of Scotland Awards in 2012 almost 50 winners have been recognised for their excellence, innovation and outstanding achievement in Scottish nature conservation and we will soon be announcing this year’s unsung heroes at the Sheraton Grand Hotel in Edinburgh.

Join 300 members of the conservation community on Thursday 23rd November to celebrate nature’s heroes at a black-tie presentation dinner hosted by ecologist, natural history television presenter and writer Mike Dilger and BBC TV and radio presenter Euan McIlwraith.

The evening will begin with a drinks reception followed by a three-course meal with wine before the achievements of the inspirational people, projects and organisations working hard to protect Scotland’s precious natural heritage are awarded.

Tickets are on sale now with a preferential rate of £850 on the purchase of a table (10 seats) offered to Chamber of Commerce members. Find out more about the Nature of Scotland Awards and contact awards@rspb.org.uk quoting ‘Chamber of Commerce’ to book your tickets.

All proceeds raised from the event go on to support RSPB Scotland’s work, which forms part of the UK’s largest environmental conservation charity with 1.2 million members and is the only organisation with the scale, scientific expertise and experience to lead change to transform the face of Scotland’s nature.
