Meet our Board of Trustees

Patron - Iolo Williams

President - Chris Hatch

President Emeritus - Roger James, a lifelong title, to reflect Roger James' enormous contribution to Gwent Wildlife Trust over many decades, as Volunteer, Trustee, Chair, Speaker, Fundraiser and President.

Vice-Presidents - Julia James, Stephanie Tyler, Richard Waller

These people are being honoured for the years of dedication which they have given to the Trust: they have provided unstinted volunteering and expert advice in many fields, especially ecology.  Each person is presented with a Gwent Trust RoH badge; it was specially designed by Lowri Watkins and shows a water vole.  Recipients are also presented with a Roll of Honour Certificate at the AGM, signed by the Chair of the Trust. 

Gwent Wildlife Trust is currently supported by two Local Groups of volunteers. Each group is run independently and most of them host a series of walks, talks or work tasks at different times throughout the year.
