With multiple prizes available, including a top award of £3,000 in each of Guernsey and Jersey, individuals and groups dedicated to protecting and enhancing our natural environment are invited to showcase their projects and gain recognition and support.
Formerly known as Insurance Corporation, Intact Insurance Channel Islands rebranded in 2025 and continues its long-standing commitment to local communities through a strong focus on environmental, social and governance principles. Supporting conservation and sustainability initiatives remains a cornerstone of this commitment.
For more than 35 years, the Conservation Awards have celebrated the extraordinary efforts of individuals, schools and organisations working to protect and enhance Jersey and the Bailiwick of Guernsey’s unique natural heritage.
‘The Conservation Awards are a key part of our ESG strategy, supporting projects that make a real and lasting difference to our environment and communities.
‘Each year we are inspired by the passion, creativity and dedication shown by entrants of all ages, and we’re excited to see what 2026 will bring,’ said Michelle Steele, HR & PR executive at Intact Insurance Channel Islands.
Entries are welcomed from projects of all sizes and sectors, including community groups, environmental organisations, schools and young conservationists.
Applicants can submit their projects across categories including the best conservation project, young conservationist of the year, and schools and youth groups.
The Peter Walpole People’s Choice Award, named in honour of the company’s founder, features video showcases of shortlisted entries, and people can vote for their favourite project.
Entries close on 1 May 2026.
‘As a business committed to the Channel Islands communities, we are incredibly proud to continue with our Conservation Awards,’ said Intact managing director Sarah Beatty.
‘These awards shine a light on the individuals and groups who are safeguarding our natural environment and strengthening the resilience of our islands for generations to come.
‘Championing conservation is not only essential for our shared future – it is deeply aligned with our values as a business.
‘By investing in initiatives that protect and enhance our local surroundings, we are giving back in a meaningful way and helping to futureproof the communities we feel so privileged to be part of.’
