Nature needs our help! Now is the time to speak up for trees and nature by entering our public speaking competition and get your message heard nationally.

This competition is currently closed, but will reopen next spring. In the meantime, why not scroll down for some inspiration, and start planning your entry for next year!

1. Record your speech

Record a passionate and creative speech about the importance and beauty of trees and nature. It should last no more than 2 minutes and be as fun and engaging as possible.

2. Submit your entry

Ask a parent, guardian or teacher to submit your entry via our online portal.

3. Cross your fingers

Winners receive a special edition Force for Nature t-shirt, a signed certificate, a £200 Go Ape voucher to use with family or friends, and the chance to perform their speech at our national exhibition!
