Go Green & Grow Lord-Lieutenant dons his wellies to join conservation morning

The Lord-Lieutenant of Hertfordshire left his uniform at home as he mucked in to help plant trees and tackle invasive species during an ecological volunteer day.

Robert Voss CBE, CStJ joined the Herts Go Green and Grow conservation session at Home Farm Glamping, near Elstree.

There were two sessions run as part of the Hertfordshire Chamber of Commerce-backed initiative, in which businesses across the county work on environmental causes.

Chamber Managing Director Donna Schultz said:

“This was a really rewarding and educational experience for all involved, and we were thrilled to have the Lord-Lieutenant join us.

“We would like to thank everyone who came along and contributed to this important cause – and particularly Home Farm Glamping for hosting us and Fiona Edwards and David Hawes for organising and overseeing everything.

“We regularly hold events like this one, so please do come along next time if you’re interested.”

The Chamber launched Herts Go Green and Grow in 2022 alongside members JPA Workspaces, KGK Genix, Estu Global, Net Zero International and Insight MCL. The initiative is a unique cross-industry group that meets every two months and aims to ask questions and share discoveries about climate change.

The next Herts Go Green and Grow event is a workshop being held online from noon to 1pm on Monday, May 13. This is free for Chamber members, with non-members welcome for £10 each.
