At the beginning of 2024, the Land Trust launched the Land Trust through the seasons photography competition, inviting people to capture the beauty of nature in its many forms. All entries had to be taken at one of the Land Trust’s 85 sites across the country, encouraging people to explore a Land Trust green space and spend more quality time out in nature. After narrowing the entries down to a final 12, the public voted for the overall winner. This year’s winning photograph, which received over 100 votes, captures a stunning sunset over a poppy field. The photograph was taken by Sue Billcliffe at Rabbit Ings Country Park in South Yorkshire. Alongside the overall winner, five other photographs were chosen as winners for each season.

Today, the Land Trust gathered for our pre-Christmas meeting. The meeting provided an essential opportunity for colleagues from across the UK to reflect on our achievements, share important updates, and collaborate on key projects. We celebrated our colleagues with the annual Values Awards, voted on by staff. These awards recognised colleagues who exemplified each of the Land Trust’s six values—respect, collaboration, responsibility, inspiration, agility, and ambition. These values help to shape and inform the Trust’s culture and behaviours. A festive quiz, exchanges of gifts with Secret Santa and a Christmas meal and party followed. Congratulations to those who won awards this year, and a massive thanks to all the Land Trust colleagues for their hard work and dedication throughout 2024. #collaboration #values #awards
