RSPB CEO, Beccy Speight - “Sitting in the garden, with my brother, painting what we could see, is one of my great childhood memories. My art efforts only made it to the kitchen cupboard doors, but the connection I was making with the natural world, to understand and love it, has remained with me all my life. It’s why I now fight to protect and restore nature.”
