Who is Adam Clark?
In the briefest possible way, Adam Clark was a student at Windermere St Annes a few years ago. His passion was the environment and nature and how we must preserve the natural beauty that surrounds us. Adam went onto study geography and environmental management at Northumbria University. Sadly, Adam was killed in a car crash in 2004 only 6 weeks into his first year at university. Please take some time to read an introduction to Adam.
