Saul Herbert, Chief Executive Officer

Saul Herbert joined the Trust on the first of January 2026 as its new CEO and brings a wealth of experience from the conservation sector.

Saul’s previous role was with the Woodland Trust where he led the Conservation Outcomes team – shaping the organisation’s conservation activity through advice, guidance and training, supporting conservation projects across the UK. Prior to this, Saul worked more locally, managing Natural England’s National Nature Reserves from the Wye Valley to the Wyre Forest, including the iconic Moccas Park National Nature Reserve in Herefordshire.

Saul says:
“I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to help to deliver the vision for a Wilder Herefordshire, to see nature thriving across the County and demonstrate the many ways that this can enhance and enrich people’s lives.”
