A Tribute to Gill Norton


Jill Norton

We send our sympathy to the family of Gill Norton. Gill was a botanist by training, though she worked mostly as a taxonomist: her specimens can be found in Liverpool World Museum. In later life she became of of our wildlife recorders, active for some 15 years starting in the late 1990s. She was also a regular attender at our monthly talks. The photo, from her funeral leaflet, shows Gill as we often saw her, in the outdoors.

Gill had a particular fondness for Wirral Wildlife. Her daughter Sarah and the family have kindly donated the collection at her funeral to Wirral Wildlife. Thank you, Sarah.
