The Network is an ever-growing network of individuals and organisations, recording and caring for the UK’s wildlife data and making it universally accessible to the public, educators, researchers, conservationists and environmental decision-makers. The partnership of the Network allows us to run the national NBN Atlas which now holds over 219 million records of wildlife in the UK as well as a growing database of habit and ecosystem data. These important resources are used daily in decision making about environmental management, and for research and conservation. The NBN is a partnership organisation and it’s through this network the NBN will grow and develop. Your membership is important in helping the Network achieve those aims.

The awards are a fantastic celebration of the success of projects, businesses and individuals who have made significant contributions to protecting the natural environment. Countryside Jobs Service is delighted to continue our association with the CIEEM Awards; this year sponsoring the NGO impact award. We work with many of the conservation NGOs and feel privileged to see the wonderful results of their hard work which all too often go unnoticed by the public and even fellow professionals, by sponsoring this award we are helping to promote and throw a spotlight onto some of their amazing achievements.

The Awards don’t open for nominations until October, keep an eye on the CIEEM website for updates. You can start thinking about which of all your incredible projects and schemes you’d like to win this prestigious award.

For the last couple of years we’ve sponsored the Higher Education Programme Award, which is still an amazing Award and one we still support wholeheartedly but NGO Impact is just a little more ‘CJS’!
