Competition themes and prizes

This can include cultural activities, picking up litter, nest boxes, wildlife rescue, backyard habitat gardens, tree planting, volunteering with Bushcare and weeding.

Positive personal impacts can also simply be spending more time in nature, living in harmony with our natural environment and acknowledging the human connection to land over millennia.
