As a record number of projects applied for funding by the European Outdoor Conservation Association (EOCA) this year, the organization is asking the public to get involved and to vote on the applications that they think should obtain support. EOCA already received 31,000 votes from across Europe last year and is again requesting the public's help to pick the winners among 74 applicants this year. Three projects will be chosen in the nature, outdoor and alpine categories, on the back of the votes to be collected in March. Anybody may vote once, either through EOCA's website or through specialist media partners.
