Richard Weaving was at the heart of wildlife conservation in Teignbridge for over 25 years, first as the Teignbridge District Council Ranger at Dawlish Warren and later as TDC's Head of Countryside Management. Richard supported us Rangers when we had 'great ideas' - and one of them was starting a small Wildlife Warden Scheme, through which some of our expert Volunteers could share their knowledge out in the countryside. It was a popular and successful scheme, but budgets and the Ranger team shrank, so after a few years, it had to end... Sadly, around 2006 Richard was diagnosed with a particulalry fast-developing form of Parkinsons Disease, and had to retire early. When he died in 2019, his family donated the collection from his Memorial Service to help our new Teignbridge Wildlife Warden Scheme - a wonderful way to remember his many year's of hard work for wildlife!
