We present our annual Gordon Miller Award for the most deserving project, initiative or innovative practice, that has made, or is making, an outstanding contribution to countryside/urban greenspace management.
The award acknowledges the hard work and commitment of those contributing to making the UK’s countryside and urban greenspace an inspiring and wildlife-rich place that people can enjoy.
In 2025 the CMA was delighted to announce a new award, the George Mist Award for Woodland Magic. As with the Gordon Miller award this is presented annually to the most deserving project, initiative or innovative practice that has made or is making an outstanding contribution to the conservation, management or community/educational use of woodland.
This year we are thrilled to launch the Ancient Woodland Shield a new award acknowledging the hard work and commitment of people who contribute to protecting, enhancing and promoting the UK’s ancient woodland.
For all three awards, we want to celebrate all nominated projects, so every submission is featured in Ranger magazine. The Gordon Miller Award winner receives our Barn Owl trophy, the winner of the George Mist Award for Woodland Magic a trophy hand crafted in wood by George and a special ‘Shield’ for Ancient Woodland work, again crafted by George.
