In a moving tribute to his late colleague, environmentalist and show presenter Anno Brandreth took to the social media platform.
He wrote, “RIP Chris Tynan. Chris was a well loved and important part of the Naturewatch team and did great work locally to promote the things we love and are important to the listeners.”
