Dedicated to the memory of Rich Hearn

This site is a tribute to Rich Hearn, who was born in Buckinghamshire, UK, on 27th April 1971. He lived most of his adult life in Gloucestershire working on international wetland bird conservation. He is much loved and will always be remembered.

In the weeks after Rich's death we raised money for conservation of the Slaty Egret in the Okavango Delta. Nearly £15,000 was raised and sent to BirdLife Botswana. Thanks to everyone who contributed so generously and left lovely messages. The collection is now closed.

On October 27th 2024 Rich's sister and three friends ran the Stroud half marathon in his memory in on October 27th 2024, raising over £4,000 for Cheltenham and Gloucester Hospitals Charity.
