He came in particular to the public eye for being the first National Tree Champion until February this year. He also serves as Chairman from the National Forest Company, and is now the Chair of the Forestry Commission following Sir Harry Studholme’s 7 years in post.

Sharon was asked to travel and speak to the students at Myerscough College in Preston and organised by Duncan Slater, presenting the first National Arbor Day in her role as Vice President of the Institute of Chartered Foresters.  At lunch an interview with (click this link for the interview) BBC Radio Lancashire went out with Stephen Lowe.

To quote Duncan, the day is/was …….’a massive opportunity to promote the many benefits that trees can bring to communities – and also highlight the arboricultural industry as essential for providing, maintaining and managing those trees’.
