What a lovely email to receive this October! Many thanks to Steve Cappleman from Cherwell School, and The Bucks, Berks and Oxon Wildlife Trust for this honour! BBOWT are fantastic and we are hoping to work with them on Green Skills as part of their amazing Reconnecting Bernwood, Otmoor and Ray RBOR project.

Dear Kim

I’m delighted to let you know that you were nominated for the 2025 BBOWT Volunteer Awards by Stephen Cappleman. Your nomination was reviewed by an independent awards panel, and you have been named a runner up - a fantastic recognition of your dedication and impact.

The panel shared how inspired they were by the stories and contributions of all nominees. While you were not selected as a winner this time, being named a runner-up is a significant achievement and a clear reflection of how deeply valued your contribution is.

On behalf of myself and the entire BBOWT team, thank you for everything you do. We are incredibly grateful for your commitment and proud to celebrate the difference you make.

With best wishes,

Estelle
