| | | We recently received the sad news of the passing of Richard Fortey, the renowned writer, television presenter, palaeontologist and mycologist. |
| | Richard was a world-leading scientist who had a long career as head of Palaeontology at the Natural History Museum. He was President of the Geological Society in its bi-centennial year of 2007 and was awarded the prestigious Michael Faraday Award by the Royal Society for his science. He has authored a wide array of titles including his latest book, Close Encounters of a Fungal Kind, published in September last year.
Our thoughts are with Richard’s family and friends at this time. |

|  | Last week, some of the NHBS team carried out another beach clean at one of our local beaches using Waterhaul sustainable litter-picking equipment. The litter pickers and bag hoops are built with 100% recycled polypropylene fishing gear, recovered and recycled in the UK and the reusable litter picking bags are made from end of life spinnaker sails.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the fresh air and doing something to help the local environment. We are looking forward to doing more beach cleans soon. |
