Clare Boyes explains how and why she became an MWT Trustee
"I've been obsessed with wildlife from childhood, and am now involved in the national recording scheme for bees, wasps and ants. I moved to Montgomeryshire in 1993 and first became a member of MWT then, a membership I've retained since.
In 2018 I retired from a job in the NHS which had given me plenty of useful experience for a Trustee role, such as work related to committee, governance and policy. I volunteered to become a Trustee in 2019, because the Wildlife Trusts needed Trustees with different skill-sets to help progress their work.
Between 2019 and 2025, I enjoyed getting to know the staff and my fellow Trustees, and gained a better understanding how the Trust worked (and how it linked to the wider Wildlife Trust movement).
With many challenges linked to the climate and biodiversity crises, the Trust has exciting times ahead. Do consider becoming a part of this important and essential movement – I'm sure you won't regret it."
