WWT was deeply saddened to announce that Lady Scott passed away on January 6 at the age of 91.
Lady Scott was the widow of the late Sir Peter Scott, who founded the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) more than 63 years ago. There is a saying ‘behind every man is a great woman’ and this was never more true than of Lady Scott.
Sir David Attenborough famously said that “The Scott partnership put conservation on the map...at a time when conservation was not a word that most people understood”.
Lady Scott remained committed to and passionate about the work of WWT, holding the post of Honorary Director up until the end of her life. She will be sorely missed by staff, volunteers and members of WWT.
