2020 Vision Project

There is an opportunity for a young person from the local area to work with a professional photographer on a conservation project called ‘Making Space for Water – A new approach to river catchment management’ which will be set on the River Tweed. The 2020 Vision Project is a national scheme where 20 young people will be working on 20 projects across the country for 20 months. It’s an incredible opportunity for a young person to gain photography and conservation experience and be an ambassador for wildlife in their community. Please visit www.2020v.org for further details of this exciting project. The information about the Young Champions project is under the ‘iWitness’ tab.  Interested? For an Application Form contact northeastengland@johnmuiraward.org or info@johnmuiraward.org, or download from www.johnmuiraward.org.  Completed Forms need to be received by   October 4, 2010.
