The search is on to find the UK’s next young nature writer

The search is on to find the UK’s next young nature writer, in a competition launched by wildlife author Lucy McRobert, in conjunction with nature authors, journalists, businesses and charities. In an effort to support the UK’s parents and children as they navigate their way through the Coronavirus pandemic, homeschooling and social isolation, the Nature on your Doorstep competition was set up to encourage young people to connect with wildlife near their homes, whilst also supporting creativity and English writing skills. Designed to go beyond a scientific approach to wildlife, the diverse judging panel are looking for short stories (up to 500 words) that demonstrate incredible imagination, personal connections with and a curiosity towards nature on your doorstep. Pass the details to young people you know and quick, deadline is 10 May.
