It is with much sadness that we report the death of Michael Griffith CBE at the North Wales Branch Members Day on Saturday (27th June).

A lifelong champion of the welsh countryside, Michael had recently joined Butterfly Conservation and was developing a particular interest in moths. He died suddenly, in the heart of Snowdonia, with Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary and other wildlife all around.

Ilija Vukomanovic, North Wales Branch Chair said "Michael's wide experience and enthusiasm for conservation were a great asset to the Branch and he will be greatly missed"

Our thoughts are with his wife, Jill, son, Anthony and the rest of the family.
