The President’s Medal – a new award to complement the Lifetime Achievement Award

The WOS President’s Medal will be awarded for a particularly significant contribution to ornithology in Wales. It may be given to an individual or to a group, such as a bird club or ringing group. It differs from the WOS Lifetime Achievement Award in that it is awarded for one particular contribution to ornithology in Wales, usually over a shorter period than the Lifetime Achievement Award.
