0Cumbernauld’s Young Champion achieves top Conserver Award
Press release about receiving my John Muir Conserver Award:
2020VISION Young Champion Katrina Martin was presented with the John Muir Conserver Award at the annual John Muir Trust members’ weekend, Loch Lomond, Scotland.
2020VISION is Britain’s most ambitious photography-based conservation initiative ever. It aims to reconnect wild places with each other, and reconnect us with wild places. To help communicate the message that healthy ecosystems mean healthy people, a number of young adults were recruited to work alongside professional photographers and act as ‘Young Champions’ for the initiative.

0Reflections of a Young Champion
Article that I wrote about my experiences being a young champion for 2020VISION has now been published on their website:
With the photograph-taking period of 2020VISION coming to an end, it gives me an ideal opportunity to reflect on the past sixteen months during my role as Young Champion. Being fortunate to grow up out in a remote countryside village, I really jumped at the opportunity to communicate to others how amazing the natural world is when we get up close and personal with it. And using photography – a medium I love – made the whole experience that much more exciting.
