New Trustee for Appointment

Maria Giulia Checchi as Secretary 

Maria Giulia is an active member of the BDS Youth Panel. She has been fascinated by wildlife ever since she can remember and came to the UK to study for a degree in Animal Behaviour. During her time in Cornwall and Scotland, she focused on improving her ID skills and understanding of UK species, which was how she first became interested in the world of dragonflies. She is now taking steps to pursue a career in conservation, with a main focus on species restoration. She looks forward to contributing to the Society through the role of Secretary and as a continuing Youth Panel member. Her favourite Odonata is the Golden-ringed Dragonfly.
