Wilding Pine Trust seeks a new trustee
With the imminent departure to Australia of Giles Pearson, the HB Wilding Pine Trust will be looking for a new trustee to do a little bit of work behind the scenes and provide some leadership on the volunteer trips. Says Giles: “A passion for what we’re doing is all that is really needed. If you have some financial or fundraising experience, even better!”
If you’re interested, or know someone who could be, please contact the trust via its website. You can contact Giles direct at giles.a.pearson@pb08.wixemails.com
Another attack on the pines is planned for a weekend day – either 30 or 31 August.
