Curtis Mossop, BASC head of training and education, said: “Anna’s contribution to outdoor education has been exceptional. Her vision, enthusiasm and determination have helped turn Let’s Learn Moor from a single educational event into a nationally-recognised programme that has reached thousands of young people.

“She has brought together schools, educators, gamekeepers and land managers, creating opportunities for children to experience the countryside, understand its management and appreciate the people who work within it.

“Anna has helped set the benchmark for countryside education. Her commitment to making these experiences accessible to all young people, regardless of their background or where they live, is commendable. This award is thoroughly deserved, and we are delighted to recognise the lasting impact she has made.”

Anna Hare said: “Watching children learn outside is fantastic. They thrive in a natural environment. I am thrilled that Let’s Learn Moor has developed into such a successful programme. I’ve really enjoyed seeing so many partners come together for the benefit of teaching children about the uplands – and the people and wildlife who live there- in the context of being amidst these wonderful landscapes. It’s a fantastic collaborative event- which has given many children some lasting memories.”
