"We need more young people to become advocates for woods and trees and we are excited to be able to open this opportunity again to help fund important projects which will directly address the climate and nature crisis."
That's the message from the UK's Woodland Trust, which is offering $62,000 in funding and mentorship to six individuals or small groups aged 16 to 25 who come up with an environmental idea that can affect the woods, wildlife, and people, Time reports.
The third annual "Igniting Innovation" competition is now open, with applications due Jan.
20.
"You don't have to be from an experienced environmental or conservation background or have academic qualifications to enter, as we are looking for people from all backgrounds and walks of life to enter with a great idea that can impact woods, wildlife, and people," the head of youth at the Woodland Trust says in a press release.
The top 18 applications will be taught how to professionally pitch their idea to a panel of celebrity judges, and finalists will present their ideas to a panel of experts.
Previous winners in the "hugely popular" competition have included starting a clothes upcycling workshop, a campaign to protect ancient trees, and a wildlife photography exhibition, Time notes.
