This fabulous achievement is thanks to our wonderful Youth Council which has been involved in campaigns and volunteering across the region. Chief Executive Tom Burditt said: “We are so proud of our Youth Council, they are young people who are really making a difference and are the future faces and voices of conservation and the Wildlife Trusts. Eleanor and Emma have recruited a team of young environmentalists who have led the way for concerned young people in their actions and words. They are an example to us all.”
