Grace Gavigan, 18, is from Port Talbot and is studying A-Levels in Law, English Literature, History and Welsh Baccalaureate. She plans on attending university in the fall to study Law, specialising in environmental legislation. Grace said, ‘’I want to make a significant difference to protecting our environment and communities by addressing issues like pollution, wildlife protection, and climate change.’’ During her spare time, she loves walking and exploring the beautiful Welsh coastline and amazing mountainous terrain. She has been a proud volunteer for the Wildlife Trust for several years and has been fortunate to witness some of Wales’ greatest wildlife-phenomenon’s which has increased her passion to protect our natural world.
Grace said: “I’m so proud of everything that I’ve achieved during my time as an environmental volunteer. I have undertaken numerous fundraising challenges, raising over £3,000 over the last year. I’m passionate about campaigning to raise awareness of the fragile beauty of our ecosystems, whilst encouraging our communities to recognise our role as custodians of this delicate planet. I hope to inspire people to connect with nature on their doorstep and show how the smallest individual actions can make a big difference in helping our natural world. I would also like to collaborate with Visit Wales and other nature organisations to promote Wales as a sustainable wildlife destination with ‘Wow’ experiences. It would be an absolute honour to be crowned Miss Earth Wales and such a privilege to represent and promote Wales on a local, national and global level throughout my reign and at Miss Earth in Vietnam. I can’t wait for the final in May!
