HASLEMERE Museum volunteer Dr June Chatfield has been made an OBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours for services to conservation and natural history education.

June started volunteering in 1998, cataloguing the RH Moses shell collection.

She has continued to identify, catalogue and label the shell collections, has published scientific papers about them and helps Haslemere Natural History Society with the museum’s plant table.

Museum president Melanie Odell, who presented June with a bouquet at a celebratory party, said: “We would like to congratulate June on this huge achievement and national recognition. It is richly deserved. We thank June for all she has done.”
