It is with great sadness that we learn of the passing of His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.
His Royal Highness was the Royal Patron of The Conservation Volunteers since 1970 and took an active interest in our work to connect people and green spaces: presenting our first ever Green Hero Awards in 2016, visiting Dersingham Bog Nature Reserve to observe a TCV scrub clearance project in 2013; and granting a private audience to our Chief Executive and Chair in 2018.
“The conservation of nature, the proper care for the human environment and a general concern for the long-term future of the whole of our planet are absolutely vital if future generations are to have a chance to enjoy their existence on this Earth.”
His Royal Highness, The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
