BioLinks and AFON Launch Competition to Encourage Young Adults

On New Year’s Day the FSC BioLinks project launched the ‘Tomorrow’s Invertebrate Recorders’ competition. The prizes are 14 spaces on a bespoke residential course, focusing on biological recording and invertebrate identification. The competition is run in partnership with A Focus On Nature (a group for young naturalists) and will hopefully help raise the profile of the project and FSC to young naturalists.

The overall aims of the competition are to:

1. To create a peer group of young invertebrate recorders
2. To enhance their career prospects (to demonstrate how participation in BioLinks and biological recording can benefit their career prospects)
3. To integrate within existing biological recording community
4. To use the competition as a marketing platform for FSC BioLinks project activities to young adult audiences
