At Temple and The Ecology Consultancy’s first Annual reception held on 1st November 2018, Mark Southwood stated: “I am absolutely delighted to be able to announce the arrival of the Foundation – to build on a legacy inspired by nature.  I am passionate about delivering meaningful change for a sustainable future. There is much to do and it is about action not simply words and good intentions.

I have full confidence that through the judicious use of limited funds to bring forward ideas, active partnerships and collaboration across professional boundaries in tandem with communities we can deliver against these high ideals.

The commitment to an open platform and the deployment of Foundation Leads and Ambassadors – recognised industry leaders (experts) – will enable the good ideas to be shared with others and implemented as widely as possible”.
