This summer we joined with UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man to invite young writers, aged 21 and below, to venture out and write about their favourite Manx species and habitats for our Young Nature Blogger challenge.

A huge well done to Brintha Yasodaran, 16, Breesha Jenkins, 13, and Joseph Wood, 8, the winners of our Young Nature Blogger challenge!

They visited our Peel Gift shop last week and were presented with MWT goody bags, plus a copy of our autumn/winter Manx Nature magazine, in which their blogs are featured.

Making the presentation and offering their congratulations were Environment Minister Geoffrey Boot MHK and MWT CEO Leigh Morris.
