The Forest of Dean
The Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification has launched a photographic competition on the theme of ‘experience forests, experience PEFC’.
The aim of the contest is to raise awareness of the importance of sustainable forest management and forest certification. PEFC UK is looking for pictures showing how people use the forests for commercial reasons or relaxation purposes, and how wildlife may use them for food and shelter.
The competition launched on Earth Day on 22 April and will close on World Environment Day on 5 June. There are three national cash prizes to be won, and the winners will be announced by the end of June. The winning photos will then be entered into an international competition to find a worldwide winner and the chance to win a further prize.
Entrants will be able to submit their photographs through Instagram, Facebook and a dedicated microsite using the hashtag #PEFCUKIRE.
