The Conservation Foundation

We are delighted to see our Founder and Director David Shreeve’s name included in the King’s first Birthday Honours List (MBE for Services to the Environment) in The Conservation Foundation’s 40th anniversary year. conservationfoundation.co.uk #kingsbirthdayhonours #davidshreeve

Many of us grew up under Biddy Baxter's watchful eye and kindly influence. Somehow whilst at the helm of Blue Peter she found the time to be on our Board. We don’t have badges but if we did a very special Birthday Badge for Biddy would be on its way with much love and affection.
