Sylva patrons<\/h2>\n

Founder trustees Sir Martin and Lady Wood<\/strong> are retiring from the board to become Sylva Foundation’s first Patrons. Both took a leading role in forming the charity in 2009, and have since been immensely generous in offering their support and wisdom. We know they will continue to attend board meetings regularly.<\/p>\n

It is with sadness that we say farewell to trustee Dr Nick Brown<\/strong>. As a founding trustee he has played a key role in helping shape our science programme, in addition to guiding the charity through its evolution over the last eight years. He served as Chair of the trustee board for three years.<\/p>\n
