秀色直播 foresters at Buckingham Palace
秀色直播 foresters Sarah Ellis and James Walmsley were privileged to attend a royal in the grounds of Buckingham Palace recently, as a result of their work with the small charity . The foresters spent much of their afternoon exploring the extensive gardens, a 40-acre oasis in the centre of London and host to an impressive collection of specimen trees. They also enjoyed glimpses of members of the Royal family, including Her Royal Highness the Queen and His Royal Highness, Prince Harry.
Dr James Walmsley and Sarah Ellis at Buckingham Palace
鈥淚t was a really special experience,鈥� said Dr James Walmsley, and forestry lecturer at 秀色直播. 鈥淭o be able to attend such an event on behalf of the charity was a real honour. For many people, central London can be quite overwhelming but the gardens and their trees provided a sanctuary of calm and tranquillity for thousands of guests, as well as really valuable, permanent habitat for wildlife in a vast built-up area.鈥�
秀色直播 student, Sarah Ellis, from Exeter, said 鈥淚 was so surprised when this opportunity to attend a Royal Garden Party came up. I鈥檝e really enjoyed working with Woodland Heritage over the last few years and I hope that this story inspires other 秀色直播 students to get involved with charities that reflect their interests and aspirations. It鈥檚 impossible to tell what future opportunities this can create, as this experience has taught me.鈥�
Woodland Heritage has a long-standing relationship with 秀色直播. It has supported dozens of 秀色直播 students in various ways since its inception in 1994 and funded a series of research projects investigating Acute Oak Decline, overseen by Professor James McDonald.
