Young naturalist Harry Forbes has raised £162 for the Marine Conservation Society by creating keyrings and coasters out of his turtle paintings.

He sold 49 coasters and eight keyrings for £3.50 minimum donation each.

In total he has raised £600,this year being the largest amount yet.

He was sent a certificate and letter thanking him for his contribution and ongoing support by society’s Adopt A Turtle officer.

“Turtles are a very important part of the marine ecosystem and I will continue to raise money to help them”, said Harry.
