Posted by Rick Anstis from SARG through his mailing list. 'I am sure that many of you will share fond and happy memories of Julia Wycherley, founder (some thirty years ago) and recently Honorary President, of Surrey Amphibian and Reptile Group (?SARG?). I am sorry therefore to be the bearer of very sad news:- Julia passed away, peacefully, on 9th September. The funeral is to be held at Crawley Crematorium on Friday 18th September, at 3:00 p.m. and Ralph and the family would be very pleased to see you there. No flowers please; instead, donations to the Herpetological Conservation Trust (?HCT?, now ?ARC? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ??) would be very welcome, either at: http://www.herpconstrust.org.uk/donate.htm or online at: http://www.surrey-arg.org.uk/SARG/00000- Homepage/SARG2donations.shtml or via Stoneman Funeral Directors. Richard Anstis' I hope that Rick and Julia's family would not mind me posting this on here. I truly feel that we have lost such a wonderfully passionate and brilliant flag bearer for UK amphibian and reptile conservation. She was always on the end of a phone for a chat about the latest sightings of European Green Frogs, or for advice on various matters relating to helping amphibians and reptiles I am planning to go to the Funeral if anyone would like a lift do let me know This is what Kevin Morgan had to say about Julia in his email to me early last week 'I will miss her, she so summed up the right way to pursue conservation goals with her approach to everyone, from conservationists to developers. Also makes you appreciate life and in your case, your new arrival .... future generations to strive for the environment.
