Holly Lodge Centre, an education charity in Richmond Park, unveiled The Attenborough Trail to celebrate Sir David Attenborough’s 100th birthday. The trail is part of the centre’s outdoor learning programme and is designed to bring young people closer to Richmond Park’s wildlife and heritage. The naming is intended to reflect Attenborough’s influence in inspiring children to look closely, ask questions, and value nature. Sir David Attenborough is a patron of the Holly Lodge Centre and supports its goal of connecting young people, especially those with special educational needs and disabilities, with the natural world. The centre also created the Centenary Glade, a new woodland space planted by volunteers as a birthday gift.
"The Holly Lodge Centre, which is an education charity based in Richmond Park, has unveiled The Attenborough Trail. A key part of the centre's outdoor learning programme, the newly-named path is designed to bring young people closer to Richmond Park's wildlife and heritage."
"'Sir David has inspired generations of children to learn to look closely, to ask questions and to value nature. Naming our nature trail in his honour feels entirely fitting. Every child who walks the Attenborough Trail is following in the footsteps of curiosity and care for the natural world that Sir David has championed throughout his life,' said James Middlehurst, chair of the board of trustees at the Holly Lodge Centre."
"Sir David Attenborough - who famously described Richmond as his favourite place in the world - is a patron of the Holly Lodge Centre, championing its aim to bring young people, particularly those with special educational needs and disabilities, closer to the natural world."
"As well as renaming its trail, the centre has also created the Centenary Glade as a 100th birthday gift, a special new woodland space planted by volunteers."
