BIG Biodiversity Challenge and Awards 2021 launch
This webinar will introduce the 2021 BIG Biodiversity Challenge and Awards and showcase some of the 2019 award-winning projects that delivered the best examples of biodiversity enhancements in construction and the wider built environment.
Registration for this event is now closed
Background
The BIG Biodiversity Challenge and Awards celebrates the contributions of the construction industry towards biodiversity. The Challenge to Do One Thing invites the industry to add at least one new biodiversity enhancement – big or small – to a building site, development or existing structure.
Join us for the launch of the 2021 Challenge and Awards as we demonstrate how the construction industry is rising to the challenge of doing one thing. Hear first-hand from some of our 2019 winners as they provide an overview of their award-winning projects. Entries for the 2021 BIG Biodiversity Challenge will open in March 2021.
