Octavia Hill Awards
We’ve had nominations from across the UK and the standard this year has been really high. The judges picked three shortlisted nominees in three categories and the vote was then opened up for you to decide your winners.
Voting has now closed.
We’ll be announcing the winners of the Octavia Hill Awards in the summer and they will also feature in a summer issue of Countryfile Magazine.
Celebrating one of our founders
Octavia Hill died in 1912, and to mark the centenary we set up these awards, in partnership with Countryfile Magazine, to celebrate individuals and groups that are keeping her legacy alive.
Natural Hero
This category recognises an exceptional individual who has devoted their energy and free time to protecting green spaces and inspiring the local community to do the same.
Green Space Guardians
This award celebrates a group or organisation, big or small, that has created a lot of noise (locally or nationally) to champion green spaces and places.
'Love Places' award
Specifically for National Trust volunteers, this category celebrates someone who has gone beyond the call of duty.
The categories
There are four categories in the Octavia Hill awards, each one designed to celebrate different green heroes or community champions.

A positive and uplifting experience
Roger Parkinson, winner of the 2012 Natural Hero category
We asked Roger Parkinson, winner of last year's Natural Hero Award what winning meant to him:
'It has raised my confidence knowing that so many people feel the way I do and given an inspiring seal of approval for my efforts. Thank you National Trust and to my nominator for this positive and uplifting experience.'
