The RSPB's Skydancer project has just been nominated for a National Lottery Award!
Skydancer is just one of seven projects in the running for Best Education Project, selected from more than 750 applications.
Winning would mean gaining national media attention for the plight of the hen harrier, as the award ceremony will be televised at primetime on BBC One in September! There's also a £2,000 prize which would go straight back into the project to help us do even more to raise awareness for hen harrier conservation.
We now need your help to win!
Vote for us by clicking on the link below and encourage your family and friends to do the same. You can also register your vote by calling 0844 8369682*. Voting closes on 23rd July.

*calls cost 5p from a BT landline, calls from mobiles will cost considerably more, always ask the bill-payers permission.
Since the project began in late 2011, the Skydancer team have delivered hen harrier talks to more than 2,000 people across Northern England and run assemblies, workshops, and field trips with more than 1,500 school pupils. They have also run sessions for over 100 gamekeeping and countryside management students and started over 800 conversations about hen harrier conservation at county shows and game fairs.
