The Irish Wildlife Trust was thrilled to have been nominated in four categories in last nights Irish Magazine Awards including best consumer magazine, best designer, best cover and best photographer.

These awards confirm the status of 'Irish Wildlife' as the best wildlife publication in Ireland and is in recognition of its first class imagery and insightful editorial.
