Awards, Certificates, Recognition, others...
I am so delighted to be featured for “Wild Wonders Everyday Nature Heroes” and be part of the exhibition at the Cornwall Museum and Art Gallery. The exhibition was launched on 13 January 2026. Exhibition open from 13 January to 28 March 2026.
Wild Wonders celebrates Cornwall’s everyday nature heroes and tells positive stories of people making a real difference for wildlife and the environment. In a world where it sometimes feels like there is not enough kindness to go around, we were inspired by The Happy News to share the good work of people in Cornwall who are helping the environment around us. There's always something to be done for the nature in our special corner of the world.
