Allan had a multitude of interests.  But his passion for wildlife was infections and one which he shared with anyone and everyone.  He delighted in the lives of creatures that surrounded him, wherever he happened to be.  He devoted enormous energy and time lobbying his MP with (numerous) letters on their behalf.  He was a supporter of Staffordshire Wildlife Trust for many years.

Staffordshire Wildlife Trust carries out conservation projects all over the county to protect our special landscapes and wildlife. Our vision is to create a Living Landscape in Staffordshire. The Living Landscape concept involves focussing our efforts on improving the wider landscape to make it a better place for wildlife. As well as continuing to protect and expand core areas of high quality habitat, such as nature reserves, the Trust is investing energy into the land in between these core areas – the farmland, gardens, parks, allotments, community areas, school grounds and even golf courses -to make them into places that  can support wildlife.
