Discover Nature Award 2026 – Register Your Interest

Discover Nature Award - Find your place

The Discover Nature Award is a free, two-day experience for 18–28-year-olds in Scotland, co-designed by our participants and run by Borders Forest Trust to help you reconnect with the land, with others, and with yourself.

Just like our DNA, the award has two strands, our Discover Day and Nature Day, held together by four bases: Knowledge, Community, Action, and Connection. These form the living code of the Discover Nature Award, guiding you from environmental challenges to nature-based solutions.

You don’t need experience, gear or prior knowledge, just curiosity and a willingness to get involved.

We’re getting everything in place to launch our full 2026 Discover Nature Award calendar in Edinburgh and Glasgow, following a successful pilot in 2025 – and we’re super excited for a full year of outdoor experiences, nature skills, and community action!
