Our first schools writing competition in 2018 was a great success!
Children are our future, our work to protect and enhance this county is for this generation and the next and the next….
We had some rather special judges, suitably experienced and well-equipped to judge a competition about ‘Why I love North Yorkshire’!
We’ll be presenting the awards and certificates at CPRENorthYorkshire’s AGM in March and hope that all our winners can attend!
