We are sad to report news of the death of Mike Killeby, a long-standing and active member of MKNHS and former Chairman (1993 to 1996). He had particular skills in studying insects and contributed in these and other ways, such as being part of the Society’s team that carried out practical management of Howe Park Wood and surveying of invertebrates for the Hazeley Wood studies.

We hope to post a fuller tribute to Mike in the near future. Other members who knew Mike Killeby may well want to add their own comments about him; if so, please write to webeditor@mknhs.org.uk
