Simon King joins The Wildlife Trusts

3rd March 2008

One of the world’s leading wildlife programme-makers, cameraman, photographer and much-loved and respected television presenter, has been officially elected as The Wildlife Trusts’ new Vice-President.  Simon King joins a team of well respected wildlife conservation ambassadors including Sir David Attenborough and Chris Packham.

Commenting on his appointment, Simon said, “I think that The Wildlife Trusts are among a handful of organisations that are genuinely owned by the public in every sense of the word.  It is each and every person’s responsibility and, as a consequence, to their great benefit, that they take part in what is a national movement on a local scale.“Wherever you live, there is a Wildlife Trust near you, making sure that your immediate neighbourhood is as rich in natural wonders as possible.  The fact that The Wildlife Trusts are all run on a local basis, with local people at the helm, means they deal with issues in a manner that is entirely relevant to your doorstep.  Join up, join in and help put back something into the very thing that gives us all so much pleasure.”Simon will work with The Wildlife Trusts’ movement to create widespread support for the Trusts’ vision for an environment rich in wildlife for everyone.If you would like to join Cornwall Wildlife Trust, please contact Andrea or Kirstie on 01872 273939 ext 203.
