Patrick Harding Legacy

Thanks to a generous donation from the Patrick Harding Legacy Fund, we’ve been able to offer three inspiring nature events, completely free of charge, as a way of continuing Patrick’s enthusiasm for natural history education.

Patrick Harding was a much-loved naturalist, author, speaker and adult educator, with a particular passion for fungi (and yes, he was often described as a ‘fun-guy’)! His talks and lectures were known for being truly engaging, insightful and full of humour.

In his memory, the Patrick Harding Legacy Fund is now carrying forward his love for the natural world. Thanks to the fund, we’ve been able to hold a Wildflower Walk, and a Botany art workshop, with a Fungal Foray coming up this October. Both of the events so far have been a great success, thoroughly enjoyed by all the attendees and dedicated to Patrick’s legacy. 

We’re really grateful for the opportunity to celebrate his life in this way. Thank you!
