Welcome to our new Trustees

We are pleased to announce our new Trustees. Read more about our new Board members.

Essex Wildlife Trust is pleased to announce that Tim Young and Paul Roberts are joining the Trustee board for the Trust.

James Wren, Chair of Trustees for Essex Wildlife Trust, says:

"We already have a strong Board, and the addition of Paul and Tim will make us even stronger. As we look ahead to 2030, nature demands greater ambition from all of us - and our new Treasurer and Trustee will be key to helping the Trust rise to that challenge.

On behalf of the entire Trust, I'd also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Bob Holmes, our outgoing Treasurer, and Keeley Hazelhurst, our former Chair and Treasurer. Their dedication has been extraordinary, and we are deeply grateful for their service. Paul and Tim will be stepping into their roles from the next Board meeting, and we're excited for what lies ahead."

"I am very pleased to be joining the Board of Essex Wildlife Trust as it builds on the volunteering I have already done for the Trust and enables me to support the Trust in a different way. I hope I can contribute positively in this role to the future of Essex Wildlife Trust."

Tim Young, Trustee

"I am delighted I have been appointed as a Trustee for Essex Wildlife Trust. I have previously volunteered for the Trust and understand its importance as an active voice for wildlife in this crowded and ever-developing county. I look forward to contributing further to this important work."

A note from our Chief Executive, Rich Yates

"I'm very excited that Paul Roberts and Tim Young have come on board as our new Trustees. They have experience and expertise that will be crucial to the Trust's success over the coming years. I'm particularly encouraged by the fact that Paul has been the Chair of our Chelmsford Local Group for several years, and both Tim and Paul are Trust volunteers. It shows the strength of our community."
