Suzanne Welch- RSPB Education Manager
I am passionate about providing opportunities for young people to experience and learn about and within the natural environment.

I have individual responsibility for key areas of communications, development and strategy. I also lead on a number of wider partnership projects and often act as RSPB liaison with external organisations for our work with
