About the Trust
The Alice McCosh Trust was set up in memory of Alice McCosh (née Alice Carswell), (1966 – 2001). Throughout Alice’s life she was passionate about natural history and the environment. She lived and travelled across many parts of the world, and studied and worked in these fields. We have established the Trust in order to perpetuate Alice's name and her lifetime's work.
