Following a meeting of the Trustees of Wader Quest held on the 11th September 2022, the Board would like to place on record the sorrow they share with the Royal Family and the Nation, at the loss of Queen Elizabeth II, may she Rest in Peace.
In 2018 Wader Quest was honoured to have been invited by King Charles III, then The Prince of Wales, to a forum summit to discuss the conservation of Eurasian Curlews and other breeding waders within the nation. The King’s interest in the environment is well known and, looking forward, it bodes well that our new head of state has a working knowledge of, and active involvement in, conservation.
