Brian Milton – Primate Welfare Team

Brian has been working at the Monkey Sanctuary, either as a volunteer or a paid staff member, for 21 years, and for a number of years was a trustee of the Monkey Sanctuary Trust.  His main duties here have been day-to-day care of the monkeys and speaking to the visitors, but have also included some enclosure building, a lot of landscaping, some gardening and also organizing street collections.  After graduating from St. Andrews University in 1977 he worked full-time in archaeology for 11 years, directing and supervising around 60 excavations in all, both in the UK and abroad, something which has continued over the years in his spare time.  He also enjoys voluntary work, having worked with organizations such as the National Trust, Cornwall Wildlife Trust, organic farms in various countries, and enclosure building for the Siglo XXI Primate Rescue Centre in Chile. He is a trustee for Entropika UK (a rainforest conservation charity) and member of the Looe Voluntary Marine Conservation group.
