We’re saddened to share the passing of our colleague and friend Glen R. Blackwood.

Glen was a passionate conservationist, writer and mentor whose love for grouse, woodcock, trout and wild places shaped both his life and his work. Since joining RGS & AWS in 2020, Glen brought generosity, knowledge and a steady enthusiasm for the outdoors that left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him.

His legacy lives on in the stories he told, the people he taught and the landscapes he worked to protect. Our thoughts are with Glen’s family, friends and all those mourning his loss.
