June with her characteristic enthusiasm and fun has been a mainstay of natural history in east Herts for many years. She is a good all round naturalist, with special interests in fungi and plants, although she knows her insects birds and mammals pretty well too. For a number of years she, supported by her husband, organised the toad rescue at Amwell; translocating hundreds of toads that would have met their deaths on the road during their annual migration. She almost single-handedly ran the Cheshunt Natural History Society, lead countless field trips, gives dozens of talks and inspires young and old with the magic of nature.
