An online vote will select the image that best captures the environment of Britain ....

Ballot to find our greenest icon

Click on the Gallery link within the above link to see the 12 green icons nominated by the Environment Agency. I think my favourites from the initial 12 are Otter and Barn Owl.

However, if I understand this correctly it appears that other nominations can be made and voted on before the closing date of 5th January 2007.

Icons of the Environment

yes i just posted up the nomination for the Large blue butterfly

I like the bluebell woods one, although i think a better pic of it could have been taken.

I agree on both counts. There is something quintessentially English about a bluebell carpet in a wood. The otter is lovely but few people will ever see one.

Yes, that's probably the best natural symbol - the other animals (and large blues) are such local things that they can't symbolise everything. I suppose that bluebell woods are also rather limited but *ought* to be everywhere!

However, it's talking about 'green' icons rather than just 'natural' ones so I've nominated a railway train!

I will go for the Horseshoe Bat,more organic farming has given this rare bat a chance

[Boddie]

I dont think any of the images are that good. Is it just me being uber fussy?

[cherrybee]

My nomination was for Hedgerows as they provide for such a lot of different wildlife

[nightshade]

Yes Hedgerows are good

Yes, but I specially like the oak tree and the red kite. Hmm, I voted more than once!
