The Syngenta Operation Pollinator Award, which seeks to reward golf clubs and other sports facilities proactively creating areas for all pollinator insects and managing other ecology initiatives that enhance biodiversity, is inviting entries for its 2026 awards.
The Award, open for UK golf clubs and sport facilities, is being managed by the STRI and judged by an independent industry panel, including the Wildlife Trust, BIGGA and last year’s Operation Pollinator Award winner, Melissa Winkworth of Goring & Streatley Golf Club.
Entry is a simple online questionnaire detailing what you do, what has been seen and how it is communicated with players and the public, along with how ecology initiatives fit with the overall turf management.
