"The standard seems to improve every year. Many of the diaries contained a huge amount of information that the pupils had gathered from their excursions either to the countryside or to urban parks and green spaces and I'm pleased that young people are so observant. From the results you'll see that Eastern Primary in Dundee has swept the boards and I really must congratulate these two classes on their extremely detailed and neat work. I'm confident that the next generation of adults will be much more enlightened about our environment and I hope this project goes some way to help."

"SNH is very pleased to support this project as young people are very important in the fight against wildlife crime. Our congratulations go to all the winners and we look forward to welcoming them to the prize giving at our Battleby conference centre outside Perth."
