2026 Nature Writing Prize

2026 Nature Writing Prize

Nature writing creates connection and connection can inspire action. Writing can change the way people see the world. A powerful piece of nature writing can transport readers to places they may never visit, reveal hidden beauty in familiar landscapes, and create emotional connections that statistics and headlines alone cannot. In a time of growing environmental challenges, storytelling has an important role to play in helping people reconnect with nature, understand what is at stake, and feel inspired to protect it.
