Today (Thursday 28 July), the 2022 JAMES CROPPER WAINWRIGHT PRIZE announced the shortlist for its inaugural Children’s Writing on Nature and Conservation Prize.

Named after much-loved nature writer Alfred Wainwright, the aim of the Prize is to inspire everyone to connect with nature and embrace the outdoors. This year’s shortlisted books reflect the astonishing range and depth of nature writing, with titles that confront difficult yet vitally important issues around climate change, food supplies and the decline of insects, stressing urgency of action whilst offering hope for the future; celebrating the wonder of life everywhere – from our back gardens to the Arctic Circle; and illuminating the healing power of nature through stories of personal connection and discovery.

The shortlist for this year’s James Cropper Wainwright Prize for Children’s Writing on Nature and Conservation is:

The shortlisted books are available to buy online.

The winners will be announced on Wednesday 7th September at a ceremony at The London Wetland Centre. The £7,500 prize fund will be shared between the winning author of the children’s category and the other two category winners – Writing on Conservation and Nature Writing.
