We are pleased to announce that nominations are now open for the Ian MacNicol Farm Conservation Award, which recognises outstanding commitment to conservation and environmental stewardship on Norfolk farms.
The award celebrates farmers and land managers who are making a positive difference for wildlife, landscapes and natural resources, while continuing to run productive and resilient farming businesses. It honours the legacy of Ian MacNicol, a respected figure in Norfolk farming and conservation, whose work championed practical, farmer-led approaches to caring for the countryside.
Norfolk FWAG is inviting nominations from farmers, landowners, advisors and members of the public who know of a farm demonstrating excellence in conservation on farmland. Entries can be made via a short Microsoft Forms survey
