Volunteer of the Year 2024

The Mendip Hills National Landscape Partnership is pleased to announce the Volunteer of the Year 2024 is Teresa Tickoo. Teresa was chosen this year as she has helped with a wide variety of roles that conserve and enhance the natural beauty of the area and raise awareness of it. 

Over the last year Teresa has been a key member of both the nature recovery tasks and drystone walling group, attending in all weathers and providing both advice and encouragement to volunteers old and new. 

Teresa has for the last few years been a young ranger assistant, a role in which she has been invaluable, using her previous teaching experience to help with the delivery and planning of this highly varied programme. She has also been a keystone in the visitor monitoring and various species monitoring programmes, especially the butterfly group where her work has been key in fulfilling the aims of this project. 

Andy Chamberlain, Volunteer Coordinator, said, ‘Teresa has been a fantastic help to the work of the National Landscape Team, especially over the last year, and many of our projects would be far more difficult without her amazing help.’
